Papa To Kiss In The Dark Read Onlinel

<div>It was dark when she reached the square where the Select Seminary wass=
ituated. The lights in the houses were all lighted. The blinds werenot yet =
drawn in the windows of the room where she nearly always caughtglimpses of =
members of the Large Family. Frequently at this hour shecould see the gentl=
eman she called Mr. Montmorency sitting in a bigchair, with a small swarm r=
ound him, talking, laughing, perching on thearms of his seat or on his knee=
s or leaning against them. This eveningthe swarm was about him, but he was =
not seated. On the contrary, therewas a good deal of excitement going on. I=
t was evident that a journeywas to be taken, and it was Mr. Montmorency who=
 was to take it. Abrougham stood before the door, and a big portmanteau had=
 been strappedupon it. The children were dancing about, chattering and hang=
ing on totheir father. The pretty rosy mother was standing near him, talkin=
g asif she was asking final questions. Sara paused a moment to see thelittl=
e ones lifted up and kissed and the bigger ones bent over andkissed also.</=

sford's sad face hadlighted with a smile, and Ram Dass had been so filled w=
ith rapture thathe had enlarged upon it and explained to his master how sim=
ple it wouldbe to accomplish numbers of other things. He had shown a childl=
ikepleasure and invention, and the preparations for the carrying out ofthe =
plan had filled many a day with interest which would otherwise havedragged =
wearily. On the night of the frustrated banquet Ram Dass hadkept watch, all=
 his packages being in readiness in the attic which washis own; and the per=
son who was to help him had waited with him, asinterested as himself in the=
 odd adventure. Ram Dass had been lyingflat upon the slates, looking in at =
the skylight, when the banquet hadcome to its disastrous conclusion; he had=
 been sure of the profoundnessof Sara's wearied sleep; and then, with a dar=
k lantern, he had creptinto the room, while his companion remained outside =
and handed thethings to him. When Sara had stirred ever so faintly, Ram Das=
s hadclosed the lantern-slide and lain flat upon the floor. These and manyo=
ther exciting things the children found out by asking a thousandquestions.<=

l summer day, not long after my meeting with Dr. Holmes, Miss Sullivan and =
I visited Whittier in his quiet home on the Merrimac. His gentle courtesy a=
nd quaint speech won my heart. He had a book of his poems in raised print f=
rom which I read "In School Days." He was delighted that I could pronounce =
the words so well, and said that he had no difficulty in understanding me. =
Then I asked many questions about the poem, and read his answers by placing=
 my fingers on his lips. He said he was the little boy in the poem, and tha=
t the girl's name was Sally, and more which I have forgotten. I also recite=
d "Laus Deo," and as I spoke the concluding verses, he placed in my hands a=
 statue of a slave from whose crouching figure the fetters were falling, ev=
en as they fell from Peter's limbs when the angel led him forth out of pris=
on. Afterward we went into his study, and he wrote his5 autograph for my te=
acher and expressed his admiration of her work, saying to me, "She is thy s=
piritual liberator." Then he led me to the gate and kissed me tenderly on m=
y forehead. I promised to visit him again the following summer; but he died=
 before the promise was fulfilled.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Helen wi=

 are thinking in your head that little Helen has forgotten all about you an=
d her dear cousins. But I think you will be delighted to receive this lette=
r because you will know that I of[ten] think about you and I love you dearl=
y for you are my dear cousin. I have been at home a great many weeks now. I=
t made me feel very sad to leave Boston and I missed all of my friends grea=
tly, but of course I was glad to get back to my lovely home once more. My d=
arling little sister is growing very fast. Sometimes she tries to spell ver=
y short words on her small [fingers] but she is too young to remember hard =
words. When she is older I will teach her many things if she is patient and=
 obedient. My teacher says, if children learn to be patient and gentle whil=
e they are little, that when they grow to be young ladies and gentlemen the=
y will not forget to be kind and loving and brave. I hope I shall be courag=
eous always. A little girl in a story was not courageous. She thought she s=
aw little elves with tall pointed [hats] peeping from between bushes and da=
ncing down the long alleys, and the poor little girl was terrified. Did you=
 have a pleasant Christmas? I had many lovely presents given to me. The oth=
er day I had a fine party. All of my dear little friends came to see me. We=
 played games, and ate ice-cream and cake and fruit. Then we had great fun.=
 The sun is shining brightly to-day and I hope we shall go to ride if the r=
oads are dry. In a few days the beautiful spring will be here. I am very gl=
ad because I love the warm sunshine and the fragrant flowers. I think Flowe=
rs grow to make people happy and good. I have four dolls now. Cedric is my =
little boy, he is named for Lord Fauntleroy. He has big brown eyes and long=
 golden hair and pretty round cheeks. Ida is my baby. A lady brought her to=
 me from Paris. She can drink milk like a real baby. Lucy is a fine young l=
ady. She has on a dainty lace dress and satin slippers. Poor old Nancy is g=
rowing old and very feeble. She is almost an invalid. I have two tame pigeo=
ns and a tiny canary bird. Jumbo is very strong and faithful. He will not l=
et anything harm us at night. I go to school every day I am studying readin=
g, writing, arithmetic, geography and language. My Mother and teacher send =
you and Mrs. Hale their kind greetings and Mildred sends you a kiss.</div><=
div></div><div></div><div>I read in my books every day. I love them very, v=
ery, very much. I do want you to come back to me soon. I miss you so very, =
very much. I cannot know about many things, when my dear teacher is not her=
e. I send you five thousand kisses, and more love than I can tell. I send M=
rs. H. much love and a kiss.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></d=
iv><div></div><div></div><div>This is your birthday; that was the first tho=
ught which came into my mind when I awoke this morning; and it made me glad=
 to think I could write you a letter and tell you how much your little frie=
nds love their sweet poet and his birthday. This evening they are going to =
entertain their friends with readings from your poems and music. I hope the=
 swift winged messengers of love will be here to carry some of the sweet me=
lody to you, in your little study by the Merrimac. At first I was very sorr=
y when I found that the sun had hidden his shining face behind dull clouds,=
 but afterwards I thought why he did it, and then I was happy. The sun know=
s that you like to see the world covered with beautiful white snow and so h=
e kept back all his brightness, and let the little crystals form in the sky=
. When they are ready, they will softly fall and tenderly cover every objec=
t. Then the sun will appear in all his radiance and fill the world with lig=
ht. If I were with you to-day I would give you eighty-three kisses, one for=
 each year you have lived. Eighty-three years seems very long to me. Does i=
t seem long to you? I wonder how many years there will be in eternity. I am=
 afraid I cannot think about so much time. I received the letter which you =
wrote to me last summer, and I thank you for it. I am staying in Boston now=
 at the Institution for the Blind, but I have not commenced my studies yet,=
 because my dearest friend, Mr. Anagnos wants me to rest and play a great d=
eal.</div><div></div><div> dd2b598166</div>
