Uncle Titus and His Visit to the Country

CHAPTER VII
17/18

"Don't those five all belong together, and have one name?
There are others too that look as if they belonged together.

Do you know them all?
How I should like to learn them from you!" Rolf was much pleased with the idea of giving lessons in astronomy, to one so eager to learn.
"Let us begin now," said he enthusiastically; "I will tell them all to you one after another, even if it takes till midnight." This reminded Dora how late it was.
"No, Rolf" she said quickly, "thank you very much, but no more to-night.
To-morrow; will you tell me to-morrow ?" "Well, to-morrow then, Dora, don't forget.

Good-night." "Good-night, Rolf;" and Dora hurried into the house.

She was so brimming over with happiness and the many pleasures of the day, that she sprang up-stairs to Aunt Ninette, and began to tell her everything all mixed up together, with such astonishing vivacity, that her aunt drew back rather startled.
"Dora! Dora! think a minute! this excitement may go to your arm! Go to sleep as quick as you can; that is the best thing you can do." Dora went to her bed-room, but sleep was impossible.

She knelt down at her bed-side and gave heart-felt thanks to God for sending her all this happiness; she resolved that when these holidays were over she would go back to her work again without complaint; no matter how long the hours might be, and she would never forget these happy days that the good God had sent her now.
