Jeremias groaned. He looked awfully old today.
Very gray indeed was his stubby beard and very
dull were his eyes as he lay there on his blue
pillow.
"Have you come to see me in all this bad
weather?" said Jeremias.
"This is delightful weather," said Johnny
Blossom, although just then another wild gust of
wind made Jeremias’s little house shake violently.
"Here is a Christmas present for you," said
John. "It is to hang on the wall so you can see
it, Jeremias. Isn’t it pretty?"
"Yes, indeed, that’s a fine piece of work!"
