Source-grounded excerpt
hums about it at a later stage. The outcome was that two days afterwards the four of them came along, and on Bobby’s urgent appeal the tale was re-read! * * * * * * * The reading of the first story led to remarkable results. Before long Berkeley had boys and girls galore to listen to his stories. Beginning with those he could find about dogs, he advanced to fairy tales, and from those to tales of the Spanish Main—full of pirates and dollars and fights. Finally he gave up reading stories to them, and told of intimate matters concerning the boyhood of such heroes as Raleigh and Drake, Frobisher, Grenville, Nelson, Marlborough,.
