Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 42: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part I, November, 1914, to April, 1915
This look was specially noticeable this morn ing as he stood before the iron railings. The things he was thinking of were Of a kind likely to bring to the face Of a twelve-year - Old boy an unboyish expression.
He was thinking of the long, hurried journey he and his father and their Old soldier servant, Lazarus, had made during the last few days the journey from Russia. Cramped in a close third-class railway carriage, they had dashed across the Continent as if something important or terrible were driving them, and here they were, settled in London as if they were going to live forever at no. 7 Philibert Place. He knew, however, that though they might stay a year, it was just as probable that, in the middle Of some night, his father or Lazarus might waken him from his sleep and say, Get up - dress yourself quickly. We must go at once. A few days later, he might be in St. Petersburg, Berlin, Vienna, or Budapest, huddled away in some poor little house as Shaky and comfortless as no. 7 Philibert Place.
He passed his hand over his forehead as he thought of it and watched the busses. His strange life and his close association with his father had made him much Older than his years, but he was only a boy, after all, and the mystery of things sometimes weighed heavily upon him, and set him to deep wondering.
