“
Wonder
if
it
’
s
all
true
?
”
said
Charlotte
,
as
we
hurried
up
the
path
.
“
Sounded
dreadfully
like
nonsense
,
in
parts
!
”
“
P
’
raps
its
true
for
all
that
,
”
I
replied
encouragingly
.
Charlotte
bolted
in
like
a
rabbit
,
out
of
the
cold
and
the
dark
;
but
I
lingered
a
moment
in
the
still
,
frosty
air
,
for
a
backward
glance
at
the
silent
white
world
without
,
ere
I
changed
it
for
the
land
of
firelight
and
cushions
and
laughter
.
It
was
the
day
for
choir
-
practice
,
and
carol
-
time
was
at
hand
,
and
a
belated
member
was
passing
homewards
down
the
road
,
singing
as
he
went
:
—
“
Then
St
.
George
:
ee
made
rev
’
rence
:
in
the
stable
so
dim
,
Oo
vanquished
the
dragon
:
so
fearful
and
grim
So
-
o
grim
:
and
so
-
o
fierce
:
that
now
may
we
say
All
peaceful
is
our
wakin
’
:
on
Chri
-
istmas
Day
!
”
The
singer
receded
,
the
carol
died
away
.
But
I
wondered
,
with
my
hand
on
the
door
-
latch
,
whether
that
was
the
song
,
or
something
like
it
,
that
the
dragon
sang
as
he
toddled
contentedly
up
the
hill
.
It
is
a
very
fine
thing
to
be
a
real
Prince
.
There
are
points
about
a
Pirate
Chief
,
and
to
succeed
to
the
Captaincy
of
a
Robber
Band
is
a
truly
magnificent
thing
.
But
to
be
an
Heir
has
also
about
it
something
extremely
captivating
.
Not
only
a
long
-
lost
heir
—
an
heir
of
the
melodrama
,
strutting
into
your
hitherto
unsuspected
kingdom
at
just
the
right
moment
,
loaded
up
with
the
consciousness
of
unguessed
merit
and
of
rights
so
long
feloniously
withheld
—
but
even
to
be
a
common
humdrum
domestic
heir
is
a
profession
to
which
few
would
refuse
to
be
apprenticed
.
To
step
from
leading
-
strings
and
restrictions
and
one
glass
of
port
after
dinner
,
into
property
and
liberty
and
due
appreciation
,
saved
up
,
polished
and
varnished
,
dusted
and
laid
in
lavender
,
all
expressly
for
you
—
why
,
even
the
Princedom
and
the
Robber
Captaincy
,
when
their
anxieties
and
responsibilities
are
considered
,
have
hardly
more
to
offer
.
And
so
it
will
continue
to
be
a
problem
,
to
the
youth
in
whom
ambition
struggles
with
a
certain
sensuous
appreciation
of
life
’
s
side
-
dishes
,
whether
the
career
he
is
called
upon
to
select
out
of
the
glittering
knick
-
knacks
that
strew
the
counter
had
better
be
that
of
an
heir
or
an
engine
-
driver
.
