I know."

Mrs. Proctor told Mr. Tooke that Hugh had made a resolution which she
earnestly hoped he might be able to keep;--to bear cheerfully every
disappointment and trouble caused by this accident, from the greatest to
the least,--from being obliged to give up being a traveller by-and-by,
to the shoemaker's wondering that he wanted only one shoe. Now, if
looking at pictures of foreign countries made him less cheerful, it
seemed to belong to his resolution to give up that pleasure for the
present. Hugh acknowledged that it did; and Mr. Tooke, who was pleased
at what he heard, carried away the Indian Views, and brought instead a
very fine work on Trades, full of plates representing people engaged in
every kind of trade and manufacture. Hugh was too tired to turn over any
more pages to-night: but his master said the book might stay in the room
now, and when Hugh was removed, it might go with him; and, as he was
able to sit up more, he might like to copy some of the plates.

"Removed!" exclaimed Hugh.

His mother smiled, and told him that he was going on so well that he
might soon now be removed to his uncle's.

"Where," said Mr. Tooke, "you will have more quiet and more liberty than
you can have here. Your brother, and any other boys you like, can run
over to see you at any time; and you will be out of the noise of the
playground."

"I wonder how it is there is so little noise from the playground here,"
said Hugh.

"It is because the boys have been careful to make no noise since your
accident. We cannot expect them to put themselves under such restraint
for long."

"O no, no! I had better go. But, mother, you----you----aunt Shaw is very
kind, but----"

"I shall stay with you as long as you want me."

Hugh was quite happy.

"But how in the world shall I get there?" he presently asked. "It is two
whole miles; and we can't lay my leg up in the gig: besides its being so
cold."

His mother told him that his uncle had a very nice plan for his
conveyance. Mr. Annanby approved of it, and thought he might be moved
the first sunny day.

"What, to-morrow?"

"Yes, if the sun shines."

Mr. Tooke unbolted the shutter, and declared that it was such a bright
starry evening that he thought to-morrow would be fine.

The morning was fine; and during the very finest part of it came Mr.
Shaw. He told Hugh that there was a good fire blazing at home in the
back room that looked into the garden, which was to be Hugh's. Fro
