A Present from Ur\cle Isaac
’ II ’HE unexpected certainly happened to
Johnny Blossom that day. He had just
11 swung round on the road leading toward
Kingthorpe, with no thought of going the whole
way, for Uncle Isaac was ill and had gone to a
sanitarium, and there wasn’t the least bit of
fun to be had just in Kingthorpe itself with all
its elegance. So early in the summer as this
there were no ripe berries in the garden; and he
must not go into the stables, for Carlstrom the
coachman was a regular crosspatch.
"Be off with yourself, boy!" he would always
say if Johnny Blossom but put his nose in at the
stable door.
Carlstrom was a Swede, with a big black
moustache whose ends stuck straight out in the air.
He looked exactly like a stylish colonel to say
the least — a very cross colonel though! No,
there was no use going to the stable.
