Between Hingham and Braintree By Arthur Upson Read for LibriVox.org For LCC between braintree and hingham beyond the roaring town the land shrank into shadow as the sun dropped down the apple-trees were ghostly the peach-trees seemed to bleed as the train rushed on to hingham with my heart's sore need between braintree and hingham the rocks were ashen gray the creeks were bare of water and the brown boats lay tipped in the tideless bottoms without a hope to rise and all the world grew blacker neath the low black skies between hingham and braintree as the train leaped on to town the fields were full of sunshine and heaven came down and lay along the waters that brimmed the grassy flume and gleamed among the fruit boughs a burst with bloom between hingham and braintree the rocks were green bedight the hill-tops were a wondrous arcadian delight The dories and the cat-boats danced gaily side by side, and the sails were sheeted silver on the full flood-tide.

Bruce KachokNARRATOR
Between Braintree and Hingham, beyond the roaring town, The land shrank into shadow as the sun dropped down.
Bruce KachokNARRATOR
The apple trees were ghostly, the peach trees seemed to bleed, As the train rushed on to Hingham with my heart's sore need.
Bruce KachokNARRATOR
Between Braintree and Hingham the rocks were ashen gray, The creeks were bare of water, and the brown boats lay Tipped in the tideless bottoms without a hope to rise, And all the world grew blacker 'neath the low, black skies.
Bruce KachokNARRATOR
Between Hingham and Braintree, as the train leaped on to town, The fields were full of sunshine, and heaven came down, And lay along the waters that brimmed the grassy flume, And gleamed among the fruit boughs, aburst with bloom.
Bruce KachokNARRATOR
Between Hingham and Braintree the rocks were green bedight, The hilltops were a wondrous Arcadian delight, The dories and the catboats danced gaily side by side, And the sails were sheeted silver on the full flood tide.

OF THE PRINCE AND THE DRAGONS the prince and the dragons chapter v the happy ending it took several days it may be a week or more for mother black to prepare the great batch of dosed doughnuts and during those days count bric-a-brac and the prince worked hard in teaching the dragons their language so hard that by the time the doughnuts were all done and dosed the dragons or at least a few of them could talk a little with their captives but these days of schooling kept the dragons so busy that they had not much time for hunting and food ran short in all those days they caught only two elephants four tigers and one old camel and that was very little among so many being hungry the ruder dragons began to look eagerly at their two captives who had grown plump because of their healthful life in the open air and if you had been a dragon they would have looked as appetizing to you as two nice round chocolate creams of course the other educated dragons who had been part way through the primer had too much respect for their teacher to think of him as food but the others grumbled saying learning was well enough in its way when one had plenty to eat but what good were reading writing and arithmetic to a dragon when he was starving just as things were looking rather dangerous for the two captives there arrived a dozen boxes of delicious and delectable doughnuts addressed to the honorable dragons of dragonville from a sincere friend who prefers to remain unknown when the box was opened the dragons began to sing saying it was a dainty gift fit to please a king for the doughnuts were a lovely seal-skin brown and done just as dragons like their doughnuts done the famished dragons begged that the dainties might be at once distributed but just then count bric-a-brac rushed amid the throng he had guessed at once that there was something wrong and desired to warn his friends of course he had to speak in primer language so his speech went something like this the dragon must not eat the doughnut the doughnut will make the dragon sick it is not a friend who sent the box a bad one sent the box it is not a wise dragon who eats the bad doughnut shut the box and do not eat the doughnut though his manner was earnest he made little impression and all insisted upon eating the dosed doughnuts except the big dragon who loved his teacher and pretty soon it was evident something was wrong one by one all who had eaten the fateful doughnuts fell fast asleep the greediest first and by evening all were asleep and snoring like distant thunderstorms excepting old father dragon count bric-a-brac and the little prince the three held a hasty consultation and by the count's advice they pretended to be asleep too and about midnight all was still but the snoring chorus then there stole into dragon land the duchess darning needle and the old witch driving a donkey-cart in which they meant to carry home the captives whom they expected to find sleeping but when they entered the cave where lay father dragon and the two captives imagine the surprise and disgust of these wicked old creatures to see father dragon rise in wrath with fiery eyes and a bristling tail while count bric-a-brac and the prince also sprang up to confront the duchess and the witch disgraceful dosers of doughnuts exclaimed the count now you will receive the reward of your crimes fall upon your knees and repent for by consent of father dragon a true and a gentle friend and a bright scholar we depart at once for the palace uninjured you will remain as his prisoners and though your age and toughness may save your lives you will probably never be permitted to leave this land but will pass the rest of your days in frying harmless undosed doughnuts for the whole dragon nation who have almost resolved to give up eating all animal food it is a just punishment and i hope it will be borne with such patience as you may have then bidding father dragon farewell he and the prince departed what was the fate of the two wicked plotters cannot be told with any certainty for nothing more was ever heard of them it may be that in spite of their resolution and of the new doughnuts the dragons ate them both up but whatever happened to them they richly deserved it as for count bric-a-brac and his little pupil they had a pleasant little walk down the mountain through beautiful views that were not noticed by the tutor because he read his book all the way they were received with joy at the palace and the large reward was paid to them because they had found themselves the king gave a splendid banquet in honor of their return and the queen let the prince sit up all through dessert so the prince's fishing in the moat ended quite happily for him but his visit to the dragons had an excellent effect for seeing how the oldest dragon studied his primer taught the prince to value count bric-a-brac's services and he became a very good scholar indeed getting marks of from ninety to one hundred nearly every day even that was not all for several years afterward it happened that a most beautiful princess was carried off by a rather bold young dragon and the princess's father offered half of his kingdom and the hand of his daughter in marriage to any brave young prince who would bring her safely back count bric brac who was still with his royal master advised the young prince to attempt the feat and offered to accompany him in the perilous adventure thinking his knowledge of dragon talk might be useful when they had made their way to the dragon's cave the dragon came out with a terrifying roar crying a x squared minus b d x y plus two a x which means if you don't get away from here you'll be sorry but count bric-a-brac replied very politely in dragon language and after a few minutes conversation it came out that this was the very same dragon the prince had fished for so long ago and then everything was soon arranged the princess was politely dismissed with an apology and rode home behind the prince on his spirited black charger to the delight of the whole kingdom who were amazed and overcome by the beauty and valor of her rescue as well as by his modesty and then why then of course they were married in the great cathedral and the bells rang the cannons roared all the schools were closed for a week there were fireworks every night all the theatres were free people could walk on the grass in the parks and there were parades with brass bands in all the principal streets and among the beautiful wedding presents one of the most attractive was a large golden vase full of most delicious doughnuts and on the vase was an inscription showing that it was from the dragons of dragonville with their best wishes for the happiness of their royal highnesses the prince and the princess the vase was much admired and the doughnuts were highly appreciated as long as they lasted after which the young prince and his beautiful bride lived happily until they came to the throne, and then they were beloved by all their subjects during a reign that lasted, oh, ever so long.
