After the gloom of the hallway the nursery looked bright and cheerful. A fire crackled on the hearth. I reminded myself not to call it "the nursery" Harry disliked the word. He was too old, he insisted, for a nurse or a nursery. Soon he would be all of twelve years old!

He sat on the rug before the fire, his legs crossed and his chin propped on his hands. He was playing with his little toy theatre, his favorite plaything of all the toys I had given him. It was an elaborate affair, though it was made of pasteboard and the characters were cut out of paper. It had real red satin curtains and a small stage. Harry often put on performances for me, taking all the parts himself and moving his paper people around the stage as he spoke in voices that moved from gruff to falsetto. Hamlet and Julius Caesar were among his favorites—in greatly abridged versions, of course. Apparently some new play was being plotted, for there were only two cardboard personages on the stage—a slender, ringletted female who usually represented the heroine, and a villainous-looking person who had been Cassius and Hamlet's wicked uncle in his time.
