limbs and their stuffing, by slow or swift degrees, in uttermost parts
and unguessed corners of the globe; but Rosa's book was finally closed,
and no worse fate awaited her than natural dissolution almost within
touch and hail of familiar faces and objects that had been friendly to
her since first she opened her eyes on a world where she had never been
treated as a stranger.

As we turned to go, the man in the moon, tangled in elm-boughs, caught
my eye for a moment, and I thought that never had he looked so friendly.
He was going to see after them, it was evident; for he was always there,
more or less, and it was no trouble to him at all, and he would tell
them how things were still going, up here, and throw in a story or two
of his own whenever they seemed a trifle dull. It made the going away
rather easier, to know one had left somebody behind on the spot; a good
fellow, too, cheery, comforting, with a fund of anecdote; a man in whom
one had every confidence.
