"Yes, it is like a mirror, Grandmother,"
answered Tellef.
"Are there many ships in sight?"
"Yes, there goes a steamer to the east, and a
beautiful boat lies right near here, and far out
there is sail after sail."
"Far out?" asked Grandmother.
"Yes, far out against the sky."
" Far out against the sky," repeated
Grandmother, staring with her sightless eyes. Then
she sat down to rest, with her hands folded under
her apron and her face still turned seaward,
while Tellef and Johnny Blossom played about
in the heather.
"It must be dreadful to be blind," said Johnny
to Tellef.
"Yes," said Tellef, tearing up bits of heather
and tossing them away. "It is cataracts
Grandmother has in her eyes."
"Is it?" said Johnny.
When they joined Grandmother again, she
said: "It would be almost too much to ask of
any one, but if the master of Kingthorpe were
alive, I do believe I should have the courage to
ask him for money enough to go and have my
eyes operated upon, so that if possible I might
see the ocean again."
