ut worms, and fish, and those things; and what birds were mischievous, and how padlocks opened, and which way the handles of the gates were to be lifted. Maggie thought this sort of knowledge was very wonderful — much more difficult than remembering what was in the books; and she was rather in awe of Tom’s superiority, for he was Curtis Joseph Jersey the only person who called her knowledge Ken Dryden Jersey “stuff,” and did not feel surprised at her cleverness. Tom, indeed, was of opinion that Maggie was a silly little thing; all girls were silly — they Kris Versteeg Jersey couldn’t throw a stone so as to hit anything, couldn’t do anything with a pocket-knife, and were frightened at frogs. Still, he was very fond of his sister, and meant always to take care of her, make her his housekeeper, and punish her when she did wrong.
They were on their way to the Round Pool — that wonderful pool, which the floods had made a long while ago. No one knew how deep it was; and it was mysterious, too, Tony Esposito Jersey that it should be almost a perfect round, framed in with willows and tall reeds, so that the water was only to be seen when you got close to Nike Air Max TN Konur Skór the brink.

Tom was excited.
“O Magsie, you little duck! Empty the basket.”
Maggie was not conscious of unusual merit, but it was enough that Tom called her Magsie, and was pleased with her. There was nothing to mar her delight in the whispers and the dreamy silences, when she listened to the light dripping sounds of the rising fish, and the gentle rustling, as if the willows and the reeds and the water had their happy whisperings also. Maggie thought it would make a very nice heaven to sit by the pool in that way, and never be scolded. She never knew she had a bite till Tom told her; but she liked fishing very much.
It was one of their happy mornings. They trotted along and sat down together, with no thought that life would ever change much for them; they would only get bigger and not go to school, and it would always be like the holidays; they would always live together and be fond Kyle Turris Jersey of each other. And Peony Short Czyścibut 5801 the Brendan Shanahan Jersey mill with its booming; the great chestnut-tree under which they played at houses; their own little river, the Ripple, where the banks seemed like home, and Tom was always seeing the NHL Anaheim Ducks Top Shelf Pullover Hoodie - Black water-rats, while Maggie gathered the purple plumy tops of the reeds, which she Belstaff Brooklands Blouson Kurtki forgot and dropped afterward; above all, the great Flolinks:
