Excerpt from The Surgeon's Stories: A Series of Swedish Historical Romances, in Six Cycles
The summer passed. When the end Of August drew near, and Back, as usual, was invited to dine on his own pike, little Jonathan came one day, with rather an important air, and handed him a branch, on which were three large dark-red raspberries.
Well said the Surgeon, and, as was his wont, lifted the little fellow up by his collar, about as one lifts a kitten.
Yes, godfather, answered Jonathan briskly, now the raspberries are ripe in the woods.
