Very soon after entering his room, Andrew's mind lost its sad impression, and began to search about for something to satisfy its restless activity.

First he got upon the chairs, and jumped from one to another.

This he continued until his feet passed through the slender cane-works of one of them.

Then he turned somersets on the bed, until more than a handful of feathers were beaten out and scattered about the room.

Next he climbed up the posts and balanced himself on the tester, to the no small risk of breaking that slender frame work, and injuring himself severely by a fall.
