happenwhich happens to wicked kings and rulers�察�and all men�察�even the 

greatest and cleverest�察�if they do not choose to reign by Lady Why's laws�察�

and decree justice according to her eternal ideas of what is just�察�but only 

do   what   seems   pleasant   and   profitable   to   themselves。      On   them   Lady 

Why turns round�察�and saysfor she�察�too�察�can be awful�察�ay dreadful�察�when 

she needs ´

and no man regarded�察�but ye have set at nought all my counsel�察�and would 

have none of my reproof;           And then come words so terrible�察�that I will 

not speak them here in this happy place�此�but what they mean is this�此� 

     That these foolish people are handed overas you and I shall be if we 

do wrong wilfullyto Madam How and her terrible school´ house�察�which 

is called Nature and the Law�察�to be treated just as the plants and animals 

are treated�察�because they did not choose to behave like men and children 

of God。     And there they learn�察�whether they like or not�察�what they might 

have learnt from Lady Why all along。              They learn the great law�察�that as 

men sow so they will reap�察�as they make their bed so they will lie on it�此�

and Madam How can teach that as no one else can in earth or heaven�此�only�察�

unfortunately for her scholars�察�she is apt to hit so hard with her rod�察�which 

is   called   Experience�察  �that   they   never   get   over   it�察  �and   therefore   most   of 

those who will only be taught by Nature and Law are killed�察�poor creatures�察�

before they have learnt their lesson�察�as many a savage tribe is destroyed�察�

ay and great and mighty nations toothe old Roman Empire among them。

hand by Madam How�察�and were seventy years in her terrible school´ house�察�

learning a lesson which�察�to do them justice�察�they never forgot again。               But 

now we will talk of something pleasanter。           We will go back to Lady Why�察�

and listen to her voice。       It sounds gentle and cheerful enough just now。 

Listen。 

    What�拭�is she speaking to us now�拭�

     Hush� �open your eyes and ears once more�察�for you are growing sleepy 

with   my   long   sermon。    Watch   the   sleepy   shining   water�察  �and   the   sleepy 

green   mountains。      Listen    to   the   sleepy   lapping   of   the   ripple�察  �and  the 

sleepy sighing of the woods�察�and let Lady Why talk to you through them 

in ;songs without words�察─�because they are deeper than all words�察�till you�察�

too�察�fall asleep with your head upon my knee。 

     But what does she say�拭�

     She says;Be still。     The fulness of joy is peace。;        There�察�you are fast 

asleep�察�and perhaps that is the best thing for you�察�for sleep will ��so I am 

informed�察�though I never saw it happen�察�nor any one else�� put fresh gray 

matter into your brain�察�or save the wear and tear of the old gray matter�察�or 

something elsewhen they have settled what it is to do�此               �and if so�察�you 

will wake up with a fresh fiddle´string to your little fiddle of a brain�察�on 

which you are playing new tunes all day long。             So much the better�此       �but 

when I believe that your brain is you�察�pretty boy�察�then I shall believe also 

that the fiddler is his fiddle。

                            CHAPTER XII 



                              HOMEWARD BOUND 



     Come�此    �I suppose you consider yourself quite a good sailor by now�拭�

    Oh�察  �yes。   I   have   never   been   ill   yet�察  �though   it   has   been   quite   rough 

again and again。 

    What you call rough�察�little man。          But as you are grown such a very 

good sailor�察�and also as the sea is all but smooth�察�I think we will have a 

sail in the yacht to´day�察�and that a tolerably long one。 

    Oh�察�how delightful� �but I thought we were going home�察�and the things 

are all packed up。 

    And why should we not go homewards in the yacht�察�things and all�拭�

    What�察�all the way to England�拭�

    No�察�not so far as that�察�but these kind people�察�when they came into the 

harbour last night�察�offered to take us up the coast to a town�察�where we will 

sleep�察�and start comfortably home to´morrow  morning。 So now you will 

have a chance of seeing something of the great sea outside�察�and of seeing�察�

perhaps�察�the whale himself。 

    I hope we shall see the whale。         The men say he has been outside the 

harbour every day this week after the fish。 

    Very good。      Now do you keep quiet�察�and out of the way�察�while we are 

getting ready to go on board�察�and take a last look at this pretty place�察�and 

all its dear kind people。 

    And the dear kind dogs too�察�and the cat and the kittens。 

     * * * 

    Now�察�come along�察�and bundle into the boat�察�if you have done bidding 

every    one   good´bye�察   �and   take   care  you   don't   slip  down    in  the  ice´ 

groovings�察�as you did the other day。        There�察�we are off at last。 

    Oh�察   �look   at  them   all  on  the  rock   watching    us   and  waving     their 

handkerchiefs�察  �and   Harper   and   Paddy  too�察 �and   little   Jimsy  and   Isy�察  �with 

their fat bare feet�察�and their arms round the dogs' necks。          I am so sorry to 

leave them all。 

    Not sorry to go home�拭�

     No�察�but They have been so kind�察�and the dogs were so kind。                   I am 

sure they knew we were going�察�and were sorry too。 

     Perhaps   they  were。     They  knew   we   were   going   away�察  �at   all   events。 

They know what bringing out boxes and luggage means well enough。 

     Sam knew�察�I am sure�察�but he did not care for us。             He was only uneasy 

because   he   thought   Harper   was   going�察  �and   he   should   lose   his   shooting�察�

and as soon as he saw Harper was not getting into the boat�察�he sat down 

and scratched himself�察�quite happy。          But do dogs think�拭�

     Of course they do�察�only they do not think in words�察�as we do。 

     But how can they think without words�拭�

     That is very difficult for you and me to imagine�察�because we always 

think in words。       They must think in pictures�察�I suppose�察�by remembering 

things which have happened to them。              You and I do that in our dreams。 

I suspect that savages�察�who have very few words to express their thoughts 

with�察�think in pictures�察�like their own dogs。          But that is a long story。      We 

must see about getting on board now�察�and under way。 

     * * * 

     Well�察�and what have you been doing�拭�

     Oh�察�I looked all over   the yacht�察  �at the   ropes and   curious things�察  �and 

then I looked at the mountains�察�till I was tired�察�and then I heard you and 

some gentleman talking about the land sinking�察�and I listened。               There was 

no harm in that�拭�

     None at all。     But what did you hear him say�拭�

     That   the   land   must   be   sinking   here�察  �because   there   were   peat´bogs 

everywhere below high´water mark。             Is that true�拭�

     Quite true�察�and that peat would never have been formed where the salt 

water could get at it�察�as it does now every tide。 

     But what was it he said about that cliff over there�拭�

     He said that cliff on our right�察�a hundred feet high�察�was plainly once 

joined on to that low island on our left。 

     What�察�that long bank of stones�察�with a house on it�拭�

     That is no house。       That is a square lump of mud�察�the last remaining 

bit   of  earth   which   was    once   the  moraine    of  a  glacier。   Every   year   it 

crumbles into the sea more and more�察�and in a few years it will be all gone�察�



                                              156

and nothing left but the great round boulder´stones which the ice brought 

down from the glaciers behind us。 

     But how does he know that it was once joined to the cliff�拭�

     Because that cliff�察�and the down behind it�察�where the cows are fed�察�is 

made up�察�like the island�察�of nothing but loose earth and stones�察�and that is 

why it is bright and green beside the gray rocks and brown heather of the 

moors at its foot。       He knows that it must be an old glacier moraine�察�and 

he has reason to think that moraine once stretched right across the bay to 

the low island�察�and perhaps on to the other shore�察�and was eaten out by the 

sea as the land sank down。 

     But how does he know that the land sank�拭�

     Of that�察�he says�察�he is quite certain�察�and this is what he says。 Suppose 

there was a glacier here�察�where we are sailing now�此                �it would end in an 

ice cliff�察�such as you have seen a picture of in Captain Cook's Voyages�察�of 

which   you   are   so   fond。   You   recollect   the   pictures   of   Christmas   Sound 

and Possession Bay�拭         �Oh yes�察�and pictures of Greenland and Spitzbergen 

too�察�with glaciers in the sea。 

     Then icebergs would break off from that cliff�察�and carry all the dirt and 

stones   out   to   sea�察  �perhaps   hundreds   of   miles   away�察  �instead   of   letting   it 

drop here in a heap�察�and what did fall in a heap here the sea would wash 

down at once�察�and smooth it over the sea´bottom�察�and never let it pile up in 

a huge bank like that。       Do you understand�拭�

     I think I do。 

     Therefore�察�he says�察�that great moraine must have been built upon dry 

land�察  �in   the   open   air�察  �and   must   have   sunk   sin
