"Come with me for a visit
To Fairyland, dear Ned.
I'll show you many won'drous
things,"
The tiny Gnomeman
said.
Ned had been reading a very
interesting book about fairies and goblins, and how these real queer little folk
inhabit dense forests and lofty mountain caves and lead a wonderful life apart
from the homes and cities of men.
The book was very large and heavy, and the afternoon was very warm, and the
big armchair in which he was curled up was so comfortable that by and by he let
the book slip to one side.
He had just closed his eyes for a moment to rest them, when he was startled by a little
squeaky voice at his elbow.
He opened his eyes with a start and saw a Gnome standing on the window-sill
just in front of him. Yes, there was no mistake about it, it was a Gnome. For
had not Ned a moment before seen his picture in the big book he had been
reading? Indeed, it almost seemed as if the picture itself had stepped out of
the page from between the covers, so exactly a duplicate did the little man
appear.
"Hello, Ned!" said the little squeaky voice again. "I say, hello! You ought
to know me well enough by this time to answer, since you've been reading about
me for the last hour."
