Explore "The Wonder" by J.D. Beresford on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Jessop, the groom deputed to fetch the Wonder from Pym, looked a little uneasy, perhaps a little scared. When he drew up at the porch, the child pointed to the door of the cart and indicated that it was to be opened for him. He was evidently used to being waited upon. When this command had been obeyed, he descended deliberately and then pointed to the front door.
"Open! " he said clearly, as Jessop hesitated. The Wonder knew nothing of bells or ceremony.
