the condition of the Colonel. So he was upset. Once, Hughie visited his friend TrevRU¶VVWXGLR

He saw a beggar model there. The old model had a wizened face. He looked very miserable. His tattered cloak, patched and cobbled boots made him a typical beggar. Hughie took pity and gave him a sovereign. Actually the beggar model was Baron Hausberg, one of the richest men in Europe. After knowing the truth, Hughie felt very sorry for his act. But the Baron sent a cheque for ten thousand pounds as a reward. Thus the charitable act of Hughie was rewarded. Really the millionaire model was a model millionaire.

GOING FOR WATER

We ran as if to meet the moon

That slowly dawned behind the trees,

The barren boughs without the leaves,

Without the birds, without the breeze.

But once within the wood, we paused

Like gnomes that hid us from the moon,

Ready to run to hiding new

With laughter when she found us soon.

Each laid on other a staying hand To listen ere we dared to look, And in the hush we joined to make

We heard, we knew we heard the brook.
