And more than\u003cbr\u003ethat, if you know so much that you don't know anything, or less than\u003cbr\u003eanything, you will have to go somewhere else to be amused and\u003cbr\u003eentertained; you will have to find other play-fellows. You might\u003cbr\u003epersuade us to play with you if you had something nicer than peppermint\u003cbr\u003ecandy, and sweeter than taffy, and then Adelaide would show you things\u003cbr\u003ethat you never so much as dreamed of before, and tell you things you\u003cbr\u003enever heard of.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdelaide! Doesn't the very sound of the name make you feel a little bit\u003cbr\u003ebetter than you were feeling awhile ago? Doesn't it remind you of the\u003cbr\u003esoftest blue eyes in the world, and of long curly hair, spun from summer\u003cbr\u003esunbeams that were left over from last season's growing? If all these\u003cbr\u003ethings don't flash in your mind, like magic pictures on a white\u003cbr\u003ebackground, then you had better turn your head away, and not bother\u003cbr\u003eabout the things I am saying. And another thing: Don't imagine that I am\u003cbr\u003ewriting of the Right-Now time, for, one day when Adelaide and I were\u003cbr\u003eplaying in the garden, we found Eighteen-Hundred-and-Sixty-Eight hiding\u003cbr\u003eunder a honeysuckle vine, where it had gone to die. Adelaide picked the\u003cbr\u003epoor thing up and put it in the warm place in her apron that she keeps\u003cbr\u003efor all the weaklings; and now when we want to remember a great many\u003cbr\u003ethings, both good and bad, we go back to the poor thing we found under\u003cbr\u003ethe honeysuckle vine.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082893115632,"sku":"2940013475458","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013475458_p0.jpg?v=1763581984","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013475458","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
