If I were seeing over' a house, and found in every room an iron
cage let into the wall, and were told by the caretaker that these
cages were for me to keep lions in, I think I should open my eyes
rather wide. Yet nothing seems to me more natural than a fire in
the grate. oubtless, when I began to walk, one of my first
excursions was to the fender, that I might gaze more nearly at the
live thing roaring and raging behind it; and I dare say I dimly
wondered by what blessed dispensation this creature was allowed in
a domain so peaceful as my nursery. I do not think I ever needed to
be warned against scaling the fender. I knew by instinct that the
creature within it was dangerous - fiercer still than the cat which
had once strayed into the room and scratched me for my advances. As
I grew older, I ceased to wonder at the creature's presence and
learned to call it the fire, ' quite lightly. There are so many
queer things in the world that we have no time to go on wondering
at the queerness of the things we see habitually. It is not that
these things are in themselves less queer than they at first seemed
to us. It is that our vision of them has been dimmed.
