all night.
Stay! Stay! Stay! said Frank. Dont go! Dont go!
And now such a noise did he make at the door with his feet and hands that his voice could not
well be heard: but through it all the scream of Dont go! Dont go! went on.
Good night, said Mr. Hart, when the noise as a short time still good night we all go, and we
leave you there.
Stay! Oh stay! said Frank, in tones of woe.
Wish a wish, said Mr. hart, or we are all gone.
Oh! said Frank, I do wish I were in bed.
There was a loud laugh.
You have now told your wish, said Mr. Hart, and you may go to bed.
Frank did not stay to be told twice.
