It was like being suspended between a floor and a ceiling of glittering jewels.
On this plateau grew the biggest cherry trees I ever saw, and they bore the biggest and sweetest cherries, though I could not taste any at that time, as the season was past.

I heard the landlady complaining one day to some of her guests that the rascally birds had hardly left her a cherry to put up.
"The saucy little thieves! they must have eaten bushels of the finest fruit," she said.
"And didn't you get any ?" inquired a childish voice.

There was something familiar in the voice and I flew to the porch railing to see who it was.

And who should it be but dear little Marion.

And there too was her aunty, Miss Dorothy, and the professor, and in the parlor I caught a glimpse of Miss Katie and the colonel.
