At
the
very
moment
when
he
burst
out
crying
,
the
old
nurse
who
had
grown
to
be
one
of
the
family
,
for
she
had
not
gone
away
when
Miss
Coleman
did
not
want
any
more
nursing
,
came
to
the
back
door
,
which
was
of
glass
,
to
close
the
shutters
.
She
thought
she
heard
a
cry
,
and
,
peering
out
with
a
hand
on
each
side
of
her
eyes
like
Diamond
’
s
blinkers
,
she
saw
something
white
on
the
lawn
.
Too
old
and
too
wise
to
be
frightened
,
she
opened
the
door
,
and
went
straight
towards
the
white
thing
to
see
what
it
was
.
And
when
Diamond
saw
her
coming
he
was
not
frightened
either
,
though
Mrs
.
Crump
was
a
little
cross
sometimes
;
for
there
is
a
good
kind
of
crossness
that
is
only
disagreeable
,
and
there
is
a
bad
kind
of
crossness
that
is
very
nasty
indeed
.
So
she
came
up
with
her
neck
stretched
out
,
and
her
head
at
the
end
of
it
,
and
her
eyes
foremost
of
all
,
like
a
snail
’
s
,
peering
into
the
night
to
see
what
it
could
be
that
went
on
glimmering
white
before
her
.
When
she
did
see
,
she
made
a
great
exclamation
,
and
threw
up
her
hands
.
Then
without
a
word
,
for
she
thought
Diamond
was
walking
in
his
sleep
,
she
caught
hold
of
him
,
and
led
him
towards
the
house
.
He
made
no
objection
,
for
he
was
just
in
the
mood
to
be
grateful
for
notice
of
any
sort
,
and
Mrs
.
Crump
led
him
straight
into
the
drawing
-
room
.
Now
,
from
the
neglect
of
the
new
housemaid
,
the
fire
in
Miss
Coleman
’
s
bedroom
had
gone
out
,
and
her
mother
had
told
her
to
brush
her
hair
by
the
drawing
-
room
fire
—
a
disorderly
proceeding
which
a
mother
’
s
wish
could
justify
.
The
young
lady
was
very
lovely
,
though
not
nearly
so
beautiful
as
North
Wind
;
and
her
hair
was
extremely
long
,
for
it
came
down
to
her
knees
—
though
that
was
nothing
at
all
to
North
Wind
’
s
hair
.
Yet
when
she
looked
round
,
with
her
hair
all
about
her
,
as
Diamond
entered
,
he
thought
for
one
moment
that
it
was
North
Wind
,
and
,
pulling
his
hand
from
Mrs
.
Crump
’
s
,
he
stretched
out
his
arms
and
ran
towards
Miss
Coleman
.
She
was
so
pleased
that
she
threw
down
her
brush
,
and
almost
knelt
on
the
floor
to
receive
him
in
her
arms
.
He
saw
the
next
moment
that
she
was
not
Lady
North
Wind
,
but
she
looked
so
like
her
he
could
not
help
running
into
her
arms
and
bursting
into
tears
afresh
.
Mrs
Crump
said
the
poor
child
had
walked
out
in
his
sleep
,
and
Diamond
thought
she
ought
to
know
,
and
did
not
contradict
her
for
anything
he
knew
,
it
might
be
so
indeed
.
He
let
them
talk
on
about
him
,
and
said
nothing
;
and
when
,
after
their
astonishment
was
over
,
and
Miss
Coleman
had
given
him
a
sponge
-
cake
,
it
was
decreed
that
Mrs
.
Crump
should
take
him
to
his
mother
,
he
was
quite
satisfied
.
His
mother
had
to
get
out
of
bed
to
open
the
door
when
Mrs
.
Crump
knocked
.
She
was
indeed
surprised
to
see
her
,
boy
;
and
having
taken
him
in
her
arms
and
carried
him
to
his
bed
,
returned
and
had
a
long
confabulation
with
Mrs
.
Crump
,
for
they
were
still
talking
when
Diamond
fell
fast
asleep
,
and
could
hear
them
no
longer
.
DIAMOND
woke
very
early
in
the
morning
,
and
thought
what
a
curious
dream
he
had
had
.
But
the
memory
grew
brighter
and
brighter
in
his
head
,
until
it
did
not
look
altogether
like
a
dream
,
and
he
began
to
doubt
whether
he
had
not
really
been
abroad
in
the
wind
last
night
.
He
came
to
the
conclusion
that
,
if
he
had
really
been
brought
home
to
his
mother
by
Mrs
.
Crump
,
she
would
say
something
to
him
about
it
,
and
that
would
settle
the
matter
.
Then
he
got
up
and
dressed
himself
,
but
,
finding
that
his
father
and
mother
were
not
yet
stirring
,
he
went
down
the
ladder
to
the
stable
.
There
he
found
that
even
old
Diamond
was
not
awake
yet
,
for
he
,
as
well
as
young
Diamond
,
always
got
up
the
moment
he
woke
,
and
now
he
was
lying
as
flat
as
a
horse
could
lie
upon
his
nice
trim
bed
of
straw
.
“
I
’
ll
give
old
Diamond
a
surprise
,
”
thought
the
boy
;
and
creeping
up
very
softly
,
before
the
horse
knew
,
he
was
astride
of
his
back
.
Then
it
was
young
Diamond
’
s
turn
to
have
more
of
a
surprise
than
he
had
expected
;
for
as
with
an
earthquake
,
with
a
rumbling
and
a
rocking
hither
and
thither
,
a
sprawling
of
legs
and
heaving
as
of
many
backs
,
young
Diamond
found
himself
hoisted
up
in
the
air
,
with
both
hands
twisted
in
the
horse
’
s
mane
.
The
next
instant
old
Diamond
lashed
out
with
both
his
hind
legs
,
and
giving
one
cry
of
terror
young
Diamond
found
himself
lying
on
his
neck
,
with
his
arms
as
far
round
it
as
they
would
go
.
But
then
the
horse
stood
as
still
as
a
stone
,
except
that
he
lifted
his
head
gently
up
to
let
the
boy
slip
down
to
his
back
.
For
when
he
heard
young
Diamond
’
s
cry
he
knew
that
there
was
nothing
to
kick
about
;
for
young
Diamond
was
a
good
boy
,
and
old
Diamond
was
a
good
horse
,
and
the
one
was
all
right
on
the
back
of
the
other
.
As
soon
as
Diamond
had
got
himself
comfortable
on
the
saddle
place
,
the
horse
began
pulling
at
the
hay
,
and
the
boy
began
thinking
.
He
had
never
mounted
Diamond
himself
before
,
and
he
had
never
got
off
him
without
being
lifted
down
.
So
he
sat
,
while
the
horse
ate
,
wondering
how
he
was
to
reach
the
ground
.
But
while
he
meditated
,
his
mother
woke
,
and
her
first
thought
was
to
see
her
boy
.
She
had
visited
him
twice
during
the
night
,
and
found
him
sleeping
quietly
.
Now
his
bed
was
empty
,
and
she
was
frightened
.
