Excerpt from The Black Aunt: Stories and Legends for Children The mannikin at first looked timidly around and made all sorts of queer faces; but pretty soon he began to tell stories about birds and flowers, and about knights and elves, and while he was speaking the aunt believed that-she saw all that he was telling about It seemed to her as if the flowers were growing up out of the inkstand, the gold glistened clearer and clearer, the knights moved past on stately horses, and the elves danced and sung in the moonshine. The aunt sat per fectly still and looked steadily at the inkstand and at the black mannikin as she listened to his wonderful narra tives.
