FACING PAGE
Bed in Summer 4
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
Foreign Lands 10
I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad on foreign lands.
The Land of Counterpane 18
I was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillow-hill,
My Shadow 20
He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
Foreign Children 34
Little Indian, Sioux or Crow,
Little frosty Eskimo,
Little Turk or Japanee,
Oh! don't you wish that you were me?
Looking-glass River 42
We can see our coloured faces
Floating on the shaken pool
[Pg xvi]
The Hayloft 48
Oh, what a joy to clamber there,
Oh, what a place for play,
With the sweet, the dim, the dusty air,
The happy hills of hay!
North-west Passage 50
And face with an undaunted tread
The long black passage up to bed.
Picture-books in Winter 64
Water now is turned to stone
Nurse and I can walk upon;
Still we find the flowing brooks
In the picture story-books.
The Little Land 74
I have just to shut my eyes
To go sailing through the skies—
To go sailing far away
To the pleasant Land of Play;
The Flowers 84
All the names I know from nurse:
Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse,
Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock,
And the Lady Hollyhock.
To Auntie 100
What did the other children do?
And what were childhood, wanting you?

Lastly, a little before dawn, a spearman had come staggering to
the moat side, pierced by arrows 98
“We must be in the dungeons,” Dick remarked 128
The little cockle dipped into the swell and staggered under every

And Lawless, keeping half a step in front of his companion and
holding his head forward like a hunting-dog upon the scent,
... studied out their path 198
First came the bride, a sorry sight, as pale as the winter, clinging
to Sir Daniel’s arm 234
There were seven or eight assailants, and but one to keep head
against them 262

ILLUSTRATIONS

  FACING
PAGE
Mr. Balfour, of the House of Shaws 18
What he was, whether by trade or birth, was more than I could fathom
At Queen's Ferry 48
And the spirit of all that I beheld put me in thoughts of far voyages and foreign places
The Siege of the Round-House 84
It came all of a sudden when it did, with a rush of feet and a roar, and then a shout from Alan
The Wreck of the "Covenant" 112
It was the spare yard I had got hold of, and I was amazed to see how far I had travelled from the brig
On the Island of Earraid 122
But the second day passed; and as long as the light lasted I kept a bright look-out for boats on the sound or men passing on the Boss
The Murderer of Roy Campbell of Glenure 154
At that the murderer gave a little, quick look over his shoulder, and began to run
At the Cards in Cluny's Cage 214
But Alan and Cluny were most of the time at the cards
Two Pipers in Balquhidder 238
All night long the brose was going and the pipes changing hands
The Parting 286
For we both knew without a word said that we had come to where our ways parted
