+
+                      LITTLE ANNIE'S RAMBLE
+
+                      By Nathaniel Hawthorne
+
+
+
+DING-DONG!  Ding-dong!  Ding-dong!
+
+The town crier has rung his bell, at a distant corner, and little Annie
+stands on her father's doorsteps, trying to hear what the man with the
+loud voice is talking about.  Let me listen too.  O, he is telling the
+people that an elephant, and a lion, and a royal tiger, and a horse with
+horns, and other strange beasts from foreign countries, have come to
+town, and will receive all visitors who choose to wait upon them!
+Perhaps little Annie would like to go.  Yes; and I can see that the
+pretty child is weary of this wide and pleasant street, with the green
+trees flinging their shade across the quiet sunshine, and the pavements
+and the sidewalks all as clean as if the housemaid had just swept them
+with her broom.  She feels that impulse to go strolling away--that
+longing after the mystery of the great world--which many children feel,
+and which I felt in my childhood.  Little Annie shall take a ramble with
+me.  See!  I do but hold out my hand, and, like some bright bird in the
+sunny air, with her blue silk frock fluttering upwards from her white
+pantalets, she comes bounding on tiptoe across the street.
+
+Smooth back your brown curls, Annie; and let me tie on your bonnet, and
+we will set forth!  What a strange couple to go on their rambles
+together!  One walks in black attire, with a measured step, and a heavy
+brow, and his thoughtful eyes bent down, while the gay little girl trips
+lightly along, as if she were forced to keep hold of my hand, lest her
+feet should dance away from the earth.  Yet there is sympathy between us.
+If I pride myself on anything, it is because I have a smile that children
+love; and, on the other hand, there are few grown ladies that could
+entice me from the side of little Annie; for I delight to let my mind go
+hand in hand with the mind of a sinless child.  So, come, Annie; but if I
+moralize as we go, do not listen to me; only look about you, and be
+merry!
+
+Now we turn the corner.  Here are hacks with two horses, and
+stage-coaches with four, thundering to meet each other, and trucks and
+carts moving at a slower pace, being heavily laden with barrels from the
+wharves, and here are rattling gigs, which perhaps will be smashed to
+pieces before our eyes.  Hitherward, also, comes a man trundling a
+wheelbarrow along the pavement.  Is not little Annie afraid of such a
+tumult?  No; she does not even shrink closer to my side, but passes on
+with fearless confidence, a happy child amidst a great throng of grown
+people, who pay the same reverence to her infancy that they would to
+extreme old age.  Nobody jostles her; all turn aside to make way for
+little Annie; and, what is most singular, she appears conscious of her
+claim to such respect.  Now her eyes brighten with pleasure!  A
+street-musician has seated himself on the steps of yonder church, and
+pours forth his strains to the busy town, a melody that has gone astray
+among the tramp of footsteps, the buzz of voices, and the war of passing
+wheels.  Who heeds the poor organ-grinder?  None but myself and little
+Annie, whose feet begin to move in unison with the lively tune, as if she
+were loath that music should be wasted without a dance.  But where would
+Annie find a partner?  Some have the gout in their toes, or the
+rheumatism in their joints; some are stiff with age; some feeble with
+disease; some are so lean that their bones would rattle, and others of
+such ponderous size that their agility would crack the flagstones; but
+many, many have leaden feet, because their hearts are far heavier than
+lead.
+
+It is a sad thought that I have chanced upon.  What a company of dancers
+should we be!  For I, too, am a gentleman of sober footsteps, and
+therefore, little Annie, let us walk sedately on.
+
+It is a question with me, whether this giddy child, or my sage self, have
+most pleasure in looking at the shop-windows.  We love the silks of sunny
+hue, that glow within the darkened premises of the spruce drygoods' men;
+we are pleasantly dazzled by the burnished silver, and the chased gold,
+the rings of wedlock and the costly love-ornaments, glistening at the
+window of the jeweller; but Annie, more than I, seeks for a glimpse of
+her passing figure in the dusty looking-glasses at the hardware stores.
+All that is bright and gay attracts us both.
+
+Here is a shop to which the recollections of my boyhood, as well as
+present partialities, give a peculiar magic.  How delightful to let the
+fancy revel on the dainties of a confectioner; those pies, with such
+white and flaky paste, their contents being a mystery, whether rich
+mince, with whole plums intermixed, or piquant apple, delicately
+rose-flavored; those cakes, heart-shaped or round, piled in a lofty
+pyramid; those sweet little circlets, sweetly named kisses; those dark,
+majestic masses, fit to be bridal-loaves at the wedding of an heiress,
+mountains in size, their summits deeply snow-covered with sugar!  Then
+the mighty treasures of sugar-plums, white and crimson and yellow, in
+large glass vases; and candy of all varieties; and those little cockles,
+or whatever they are called, much prized by children for their sweetness,
+and more for the mottoes which they enclose, by love-sick maids and
+bachelors!  O, my mouth waters, little Annie, and so doth yours; but we
+will not be tempted, except to an imaginary feast; so let us hasten
+onward, devouring the vision of a plum-cake.
+
+Here are pleasures, as some people would say, of a more exalted kind,
+in the window of a bookseller.  Is Annie a literary lady?  Yes; she is
+deeply read in Peter Parley's tomes, and has an increasing love for
+fairy-tales, though seldom met with nowadays, and she will subscribe,
+next year, to the Juvenile Miscellany.  But, truth to tell, she is apt to
+turn away from the printed page, and keep gazing at the pretty pictures,
+such as the gay-colored ones which make this shopwindow the continual
+loitering-place of children.  What would Annie think, if, in the book
+which I mean to send her, on New Year's day, she should find her sweet
+little self, bound up in silk or morocco with gilt edges, there to remain
+till she become a woman grown with children of her own to read about
+their mother's childhood!  That would be very queer.
+
+Little Annie is weary of pictures, and pulls me onward by the hand, till
+suddenly we pause at the most wondrous shop in all the town.  O, my
+stars!  Is this a toy-shop, or is it fairy-land?  For here are gilded
+chariots, in which the king and queen of the fairies might ride side by
+side, while their courtiers, on these small horses, should gallop in
+triumphal procession before and behind the royal pair.  Here, too, are
+dishes of china-ware, fit to be the dining set of those same princely
+personages, when they make a regal banquet in the stateliest ball of
+their palace, full five feet high, and behold their nobles feasting adown
+the long perspective of the table.  Betwixt the king and queen should sit
+my little Annie, the prettiest fairy of them all.  Here stands a turbaned
+Turk, threatening us with his sabre, like an ugly heathen as he is.  And
+next a Chinese mandarin, who nods his head at Annie and myself.  Here we
+may review a whole army of horse and foot, in red and blue uniforms, with
+drums, fifes, trumpets, and all kinds of noiseless music; they have
+halted on the shelf of this window, after their weary march from Liliput.
+But what cares Annie for soldiers?  No conquering queen is she, neither a
+Semiramis nor a Catharine, her whole heart is set upon that doll, who
+gazes at us with such a fashionable stare.  This is the little girl's
+true plaything.  Though made of wood, a doll is a visionary and ethereal
+personage, endowed by childish fancy with a peculiar life; the mimic lady
+is a heroine of romance, an actor and a sufferer in a thousand shadowy
+scenes, the chief inhabitant of that wild world with which children ape
+the real one.  Little Annie does not understand what I am saying, but
+looks wishfully at the proud lady in the window.  We will invite her home
+with us as we return.  Meantime, good by, Dame Doll!  A toy yourself, you
+look forth from your window upon many ladies that are also toys, though
+they walk and speak, and upon a crowd in pursuit of toys, though they
+wear grave visages.  O, with your never-closing eyes, had you but an
+intellect to moralize on all that flits before them, what a wise doll
+would you be!  Come, little Annie, we shall find toys enough, go where we
+may.
+
+Now we elbow our way among the throng again.  It is curious, in the most
+crowded part of a town, to meet with living creatures that had their
+birthplace in some far solitude, but have acquired a second nature in the
+wilderness of men.  Look up, Annie, at that canary-bird, hanging out of
+the window in his cage.  Poor little fellow!  His golden feathers are all
+tarnished in this smoky sunshine; he would have glistened twice as
+brightly among the summer islands; but still he has become a citizen in
+all his tastes and habits, and would not sing half so well without the
+uproar that drowns his music.  What a pity that he does not know how
+miserable he is!  There is a parrot, too, calling out, "Pretty Poll!
+Pretty Poll!" as we pass by.  Foolish bird, to be talking about her
+prettiness to strangers, especially as she is not a pretty Poll, though
+gaudily dressed in green and yellow.  If she had said, "Pretty Annie,"
+there would have been some sense in it.  See that gray squirrel at the
+door of the fruit-shop, whirling round and round so merrily within his
+wire wheel!  Being condemned to the treadmill, he makes it an amusement.
+Admirable philosophy!
+
+Here comes a big, rough dog, a countryman's dog in search of his master;
+smelling at everybody's heels, and touching little Annie's hand with his
+cold nose, but hurrying away, though she would fain have patted him.
+Success to your search, Fidelity!  And there sits a great yellow cat upon
+a window-sill, a very corpulent and comfortable cat, gazing at this
+transitory world, with owl's eyes, and making pithy comments, doubtless,
+or what appear such, to the silly beast.  O sage puss, make room for me
+beside you, and we will be a pair of philosophers!
+
+Here we see something to remind us of the town crier, and his ding-dong
+bell!  Look! look at that great cloth spread out in the air, pictured all
+over with wild beasts, as if they had met together to choose a king,
+according to their custom in the days of AEsop.  But they are choosing
+neither a king nor a president; else we should hear a most horrible
+snarling!  They have come from the deep woods, and the wild mountains,
+and the desert sands, and the polar snows, only to do homage to my little
+Annie.  As we enter among them, the great elephant makes us a bow, in the
+best style of elephantine courtesy, bending lowly down his mountain bulk,
+with trunk abased, and leg thrust out behind.  Annie returns the salute,
+much to the gratification of the elephant, who is certainly the best-bred
+monster in the caravan.  The lion and the lioness are busy with two
+beef-bones.  The royal tiger, the beautiful, the untamable, keeps pacing
+his narrow cage with a haughty step, unmindful of the spectators, or
+recalling the fierce deeds of his former life, when he was wont to leap
+forth upon such inferior animals, from the jungles of Bengal.
+Here we see the very same wolf,--do not go near him, Annie!--the
+self-same wolf that devoured little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.
+In the next cage, a hyena from Egypt, who has doubtless howled around the
+pyramids, and a black bear from our own forests are fellow-prisoners, and
+most excellent friends.  Are there any two living creatures who have so
+few sympathies that they cannot possibly be friends?  Here sits a great
+white bear, whom common observers would call a very stupid beast, though
+I perceive him to be only absorbed in contemplation; he is thinking of
+his voyages on an iceberg, and of his comfortable home in the vicinity of
+the north pole, and of the little cubs whom he left rolling in the
+eternal snows.  In fact, he is a bear of sentiment.  But, O, those
+unsentimental monkeys the ugly, grinning, aping, chattering, ill-natured,
+mischievous, and queer little brutes.  Annie does not love the monkeys.
+Their ugliness shocks her pure, instinctive delicacy of taste, and makes
+her mind unquiet, because it bears a wild and dark resemblance to
+humanity. But here is a little pony, just big enough for Annie to ride,
+and round and round he gallops in a circle, keeping time with his
+trampling hoofs to a band of music.  And here,--with a laced coat and a
+cocked hat, and a riding whip in his hand,--here comes a little
+gentleman, small enough to be king of the fairies, and ugly enough to be
+king of the gnomes, and takes a flying leap into the saddle.  Merrily,
+merrily plays the music, and merrily gallops the pony, and merrily rides
+the little old gentleman.  Come, Annie, into the street again; perchance
+we may see monkeys on horseback there!  Mercy on us, what a noisy world
+we quiet people live in!  Did Annie ever read the Cries of London City?
+With what lusty lungs doth yonder man proclaim that his wheelbarrow is
+full of lobsters!  Here comes another mounted on a cart, and blowing a
+hoarse and dreadful blast from a tin horn, as much as to say, "Fresh
+fish!"  And hark! a voice on high, like that of a muezzin from the summit
+of a mosque, announcing that some chimney-sweeper has emerged from smoke
+and soot, and darksome caverns, into the upper air.  What cares the world
+for that?  But, well-a-day, we hear a shrill voice of affliction, the
+scream of a little child, rising louder with every repetition of that
+smart, sharp, slapping sound, produced by an open hand on tender flesh.
+Annie sympathizes, though without experience of such direful woe.  Lo!
+the town crier again, with some new secret for the public ear.  Will he
+tell us of an auction, or of a lost pocketbook, or a show of beautiful
+wax figures, or of some monstrous beast more horrible than any in the
+caravan?  I guess the latter.  See how he uplifts the bell in his right
+hand, and shakes it slowly at first, then with a hurried motion, till the
+clapper seems to strike both sides at once, and the sounds are scattered
+forth in quick succession, far and near.
+
+Ding-dong!  Ding-dong!  Ding-dong!
+
+Now he raises his clear, loud voice, above all the din of the town; it
+drowns the buzzing talk of many tongues, and draws each man's mind from
+his own business; it rolls up and down the echoing street and ascends to
+the hushed chamber of the sick, and penetrates downward to the cellar
+kitchen, where the hot cook turns from the fire to listen.  Who, of all
+that address the public ear, whether in church, or court-house, or hall
+of state, has such an attentive audience as the town crier?  What saith
+the people's orator?
+
+"Strayed from her home, a LITTLE GIRL, of five years old, in a blue silk
+frock and white pantalets, with brown curling hair and hazel eyes.
+Whoever will bring her back to her afflicted mother--"
+
+Stop, stop, town crier!  The lost is found.  O, my pretty Annie, we
+forgot to tell your mother of our ramble, and she is in despair, and has
+sent the town crier to bellow up and down the streets, afrighting old
+and young, for the loss of a little girl who has not once let go my hand!
+Well, let us hasten homeward; and as we go, forget not to thank Heaven,
+my Annie, that, after wandering a little way into the world, you may
+return at the first summons, with an untainted and unwearied heart, and
+be a happy child again.  But I have gone too far astray for the town
+crier to call me back.
+
+Sweet has been the charm of childhood on my spirit, throughout my ramble
+with little Annie!  Say not that it has been a waste of precious moments,
+an idle matter, a babble of childish talk, and a revery of childish
+imaginations, about topics unworthy of a grown man's notice.  Has it been
+merely this?  Not so; not so.  They are not truly wise who would affirm
+it.  As the pure breath of children revives the life of aged men, so is
+our moral nature revived by their free and simple thoughts, their native
+feeling, their airy mirth, for little cause or none, their grief, soon
+roused and soon allayed.  Their influence on us is at least reciprocal
+with ours on them.  When our infancy is almost forgotten, and our boyhood
+long departed, though it seems but as yesterday; when life settles darkly
+down upon us, and we doubt whether to call ourselves young any more, then
+it is good to steal away from the society of bearded men, and even of
+gentler woman, and spend an hour or two with children.  After drinking
+from those fountains of still fresh existence, we shall return into the
+crowd, as I do now, to struggle onward and do our part in life, perhaps
+as fervently as ever, but, for a time, with a kinder and purer heart, and
+a spirit more lightly wise.  All this by thy sweet magic, dear little
+Annie!

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
