Billy excused himself for a minute and ran into the house to tell his mother, but she was nowhere to be found. So he wrote a note in which he explained that he had gone away for a little while with the Geography Fairy. Returning to the garden, he found that Nimbus had now grown to be as large as a middle-sized baby. He was strolling across the lawn on his way to the front gate.Billy trudged along by his side, and soon they were at the street corner awaiting the coming of a big red trolley car, which Billy hailed at Nimbus’s suggestion.When the two got in the conductor looked at the queer little stranger in amazement.But Nimbus only nodded at him coldly, leaped up on the seat and began digging into his pocket, from which he presently pulled a huge blue transfer.This he held out when the conductor came for the fare.“That ain’t no good,” said the conductor.For reply Nimbus folded the transfer up into a tiny wand, touched the conductor on the cap with it and said:“This car for the Equator. Passengers desiring transfers for the Arctic Circle or the North Pole will kindly mention it before we get to Cuba.”

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Vision Splendid IT CAME about very suddenly. I was sitting in my room one hot summer afternoon, looking at the pale blue wall paper and listening to the whirl of the electric fan. It was the 27th of A ugust. I heard the clock strike four in the drawing room below. How hot it was! How stifiingly, unbearably hot! It was very quiet. The stillness was delightful. My house stood on such a steep hill, we seldom heard even automobiles. Suddenly, from thinking gratefully of the peace in which I lived, my thoughts flew without warning to the trenches of Europe, and instantly war in all its horrors took possession of my soul. My imagination is at once my best friend and my deadliest enemy. It obsesses me and wrecks my peace for hours at a time, causing me to live the lives of people I never have seen and never expect to see; but their sufferings are mine while the dream lasts. And so I began to experience every horror I had read about or imagined. I was in those sun-baked, water-logged trenches. I was in that bodily suffering and that mental anguish of those helpless men, driven out to meet death as best they might only avoid it they might not. I wondered how I would feel if I knew I was going to be killed and at any moment! I know now. I went through it all the vicarious anguish for the helpless ones left behind.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
