n was low in the sky beforethey set out either to work or play, so the childrenpassed through the streets unperceived, and crossed theriver by the bridge into the flowery meadows along theroad by which they had ridden with the duchess. By-and-by Abeille began to feel thirsty, but the sun haddrunk up all the water, and not a drop was left for her.They walked on a little further, and by good luck founda cherry-tree covered with ripe fruit, and after a rest anda refreshing meal, they wTere sure that they were strongenough to reach the lake in a few minutes.

I noticed, a little way back, a clump of blackberrybushes, said he. Wait here for me, and I will go andgather some fruit, and after that we will start homeagain
Henry Justice Ford (1860–1941) was a prolific and successful artist and illustrator, active from 1886 through to the late 1920s. Sometimes known as H. J. Ford or Henry J. Ford, he came to public attention when he provided the numerous beautiful illustrations for Andrew Lang's Fairy Books, which captured the imagination of a generation of British children and were sold worldwide in the 1880s and 1890s. In 1892, Ford began exhibiting paintings of historical subjects and landscapes at the Royal Academy of Art exhibitions.
