"I'm more than proud of it all. But I should never like our own room, in
which Prince George sat so home-like with us, to belong to another."
"No, no--we will keep our own snug home," replied John with earnestness.
And so they did, living on quietly as of old; and the only display ever

thinking of what made it fall."
"Why, I could have told him that," said Lucy; "because the stem snapped
and there was nothing to support it."
"And what then?" asked her father.
