And as the father read<br>All silently, the curious children took<br>Exacting inventory both of book<br>And man:--He wore a long-napped white fur-hat<br>Pulled firmly on his head, and under that<br>Rather long silvery hair, or iron-gray--<br>For he was not an old man,--anyway,<br>Not beyond sixty. And he wore a pair<br>Of square-framed spectacles--or rather there<br>Were two more than a pair,--the extra two<br>Flared at the corners, at the eyes' side-view,<br>In as redundant vision as the eyes<br>Of grasshoppers or bees or dragonflies.<br>Later the children heard the father say<br>He was 'A Noted Traveler,' and would stay<br>Some days with them--In which time host and guest<br>Discussed, alone, in deepest interest,<br>Some vague, mysterious matter that defied<br>The wistful children, loitering outside<br>The spare-room door. There Bud acquired a quite<br>New list of big words--such as 'Disunite,'<br>And 'Shibboleth,' and 'Aristocracy,'<br>And 'Juggernaut,' and 'Squatter Sovereignty,'<br>And 'Anti-slavery,' 'Emancipate,'<br>'Irrepressible conflict,' and 'The Great<br>Battle of Armageddon'--obviously<br>A pamphlet brought from Washington, D.

By a strange man who called across the fence,
Inquiring for their father's residence;
