FAIRY PALACE. 109

‘© How can that be, Charles,” said
Rosa, ‘ people in the moon! Indeed,
Charles, I cannot think so; for how
can people live in that round yellow
ball in the sky ¢”—* OQ! it appears to
us, Mr. Lloyd says,” resumed Charles,
“not at allas it really is. And if
there are people in it, as there are here,
this world may look to them just as the
moon does to us, ‘nothing more than a
round ball in the sky, as you say it is,
Rosa. But I will tell you a great deal
more about the moon and the stars too,”
continued Charles, ** to-morrow; and
shew you a great round thing, which
I cannot yet understand, but which
Mr. Lloyd calls a globe.”--* Yes,
pray do, Charles,” said Rosa; “ for I
should Jove dearly to know all about it.’
