The Hole in the wall
How Happy country children are when the spring comes! What a pleasant day that is when they are allowed for the first time to go out after tea and play in the garden till bed time. How glad they are when they may run and look for cowslips in the meadow behind the house, and when they find that the little river at the bottom which had been swollen all february and march, is now narrow enough for the boys to leap across it, and for the girls to sit on the bank and make nose agays of blue speedwell and yellow golans. Above All how fortunate that country child is whose birthday falls at the end of april or in the beginning of may, for in his or her honour at the first tea-drinking out of doors is sure to be given and is there any festival in all the year so sweet as that?
