Dr. Herbert Benjamin
“Are you going to see the world again, Henry?”
asked Cousin Crispin.
“I doubt it,” said Henry. “I don’t think it’s
necessary any more. Besides, all I can think of is getting
back up on that shelf. I’m all dried out.”
“Feel that breeze?” said Crispin. “It’s going to rain.
If you wait a little, you can have a wonderful shower. It’s
not very salty though,” he added, as an after-thought.
“Thanks,” said Henry, “but I’ve had enough of the
wind, and I don’t think plain water would help. Besides,
I’m anxious to see the folks again. I’ll tell them I saw
you.”
They said goodbye, and Henry scrambled up to the
window sill and peered into Peter’s room.
