'Ina A .sas are The Hathaway Cottage ' BID ye welcome, I bid ye welcome, cried old Dame Hathaway. 'Tis W2-Ei xii'- gfq, 1 fe a pleasure to have you in our humble dwelling, Mistress Nancy. Sit ye Cf M down whilst I fetch Anne. Marry! But that wench is the trial of my QM life! From the crowing of the cock 'till the sun quits a smilin' at 12,43 . . . , , . . itself in the Avon, she is up and away. I ll wager ha pence she is leading that scamp, Will Shakespeare, around by his bushy forelock this minute! As she bustled away I sat down to ponder o'er her humble dwelling. I know not when it had been my good luck to dwell upon so pleasant a subject. The house itself peeps out from under a thatched roof from which do rise three chimneys as sentinels watching o'er the meadows i' the distance. Can't you see the fire- flies a-twinkling in the dusk o'er those meadows? The face of the dwelling turns toward the garden so gay with shrubs and flowers- all the colors o' the coat o' Joseph! These flowers are a-blooming from May Day 'till May Day, for the climate in our Stratford town is wondrous mild. From this beautiful spot rough stone steps lead up to the small door through which my hostess so heartily bade me enter. Dame Hathaway is indeed a shrew, but what o' that, pray tell me? ls she not reputed the neatest in our town? The gravel walk leading from the picket fence defies any rival on smoothness. The stone steps are scrubbed wi' sand every day. Nowhere in Merrie England can a person find boxwood so keenly cut. The window panes are polished with such brilliance, truth, one thinks them eyes a-twinkling! As for the in- terior-if thou canst find but one spot o' dust from the low, wooden-beamed ceiling to the stone floor, I'll tread the measure wi' ye from Trinity Church and back again next Sunday morn! Because of the lowness of the ceiling, the sparse furnishings, and the lack o' many windows, at first sight one would think 'twas not a cheery place: but the spindle in the corner and the kettle always humming so merrily on the hearth, to say naught of puss asleep on the door sill, all go to make it homelike. And- l tell ye, I won't go in! suddenly burst loudly upon my calm meditations. Not with my William a-waiting for me by the river! Know ye not the maypops are o'er ripe and waiting to be gathered? Quite silently I took me out o' the back door which leads onto the street. NANCY BATTLE, 'Z I. Page fifty eight
