Sylvie and Bruno Concluded - ebook
If you think that the story about Alice is the most fantastic, then you are mistaken. Sylvie and Bruno are proof of that. There are many hidden gems here, mostly sweet, sentimental stories of the fabulous children of Sylvie and Bruno. The second half of the story is not much different from the first, only it came to a conclusion.

During the next month or two my solitary town-life seemed, by contrast, unusually dull and tedious. I missed the pleasant friends I had left behind at Elveston–the genial interchange of thought–the sympathy which gave to one’s ideas a new and vivid reality: but, perhaps more than all, I missed the companionship of the two Fairies–or Dream-Children, for I had not yet solved the problem as to who or what they were–whose sweet playfulness had shed a magic radiance over my life.
In office-hours–which I suppose reduce most men to the mental condition of a coffee-mill or a mangle–time sped along much as usual: it was in the pauses of life, the desolate hours when books and newspapers palled on the sated appetite, and when, thrown back upon one’s own dreary musings, one strove–all in vain–to people the vacant air with the dear faces of absent friends, that the real bitterness of solitude made itself felt.
One evening, feeling my life a little more wearisome than usual, I strolled down to my Club, not so much with the hope of meeting any friend there, for London was now “out of town,’ as with the feeling that here, at least, I should hear “sweet words of human speech,’ and come into contact with human thought.
However, almost the first face I saw there _was_ that of a friend. Eric Lindon was lounging, with rather a “bored’ expression of face, over a newspaper; and we fell into conversation with a mutual satisfaction which neither of us tried to conceal.
After a while I ventured to introduce what was just then the main subject of my thoughts. “And so the Doctor” (a name we had adopted by a tacit agreement, as a convenient compromise between the formality of “Doctor Forester’ and the intimacy–to which Eric Lindon hardly seemed entitled–of “Arthur’) “has gone abroad by this time, I suppose? Can you give me his present address?”
“He is still at Elveston–I believe,” was the reply. “But I have not been there since I last met you.”
I did not know which part of this intelligence to wonder at most. “And might I ask–if it isn’t taking too much of a liberty–when your wedding-bells are to–or perhaps they _have_ rung, already?”
“No,” said Eric, in a steady voice, which betrayed scarcely a trace of emotion: “_that_ engagement is at an end. I am still “Benedick the _un_married man.’”
After this, the thick-coming fancies–all radiant with new possibilities of happiness for Arthur–were far too bewildering to admit of any further conversation, and I was only too glad to avail myself of the first decent excuse, that offered itself, for retiring into silence.
The next day I wrote to Arthur, with as much of a reprimand for his long silence as I could bring myself to put into words, begging him to tell me how the world went with him.
Needs must that three or four days–possibly more–should elapse before I could receive his reply; and never had I known days drag their slow length along with a more tedious indolence.
To while away the time, I strolled, one afternoon, into Kensington Gardens, and, wandering aimlessly along any path that presented itself, I soon became aware that I had somehow strayed into one that was wholly new to me. Still, my elfish experiences seemed to have so completely faded out of my life that nothing was further from my thoughts than the idea of again meeting my fairy-friends, when I chanced to notice a small creature, moving among the grass that fringed the path, that did not seem to be an insect, or a frog, or any other living thing that I could think of. Cautiously kneeling down, and making an _ex tempore_ cage of my two hands, I imprisoned the little wanderer, and felt a sudden thrill of surprise and delight on discovering that my prisoner was no other than _Bruno_ himself!
Bruno took the matter _very_ coolly, and, when I had replaced him on the ground, where he would be within easy conversational distance, he began talking, just as if it were only a few minutes since last we had met.
“Doos oo know what the _Rule_ is,” he enquired, “when oo catches a Fairy, withouten its having tolded oo where it was?” (Bruno’s notions of English Grammar had certainly _not_ improved since our last meeting.)
“No,” I said. “I didn’t know there was any Rule about it.”
“I _think_ oo’ve got a right to _eat_ me,” said the little fellow, looking up into my face with a winning smile. “But I’m not pruffickly sure. Oo’d better not do it wizout asking.”
It did indeed seem reasonable not to take so irrevocable a step as _that_, without due enquiry. “I’ll certainly _ask_ about it, first,” I said. “Besides, I don’t know yet whether you would be _worth_ eating!”
“I guess I’m _deliciously_ good to eat,” Bruno remarked in a satisfied tone, as if it were something to be rather proud of.
“And what are you doing here, Bruno?”
“_That’s_ not my name!” said my cunning little friend. “Don’t oo know my name’s “Oh Bruno!’? That’s what Sylvie always calls me, when I says mine lessons.”
“Well then, what are you doing here, oh Bruno?”
“Doing mine lessons, a-course!” With that roguish twinkle in his eye, that always came when he knew he was talking nonsense.
“Oh, _that’s_ the way you do your lessons, is it? And do you remember them well?”
“Always can ‘member _mine_ lessons,” said Bruno. “It’s _Sylvie’s_ lessons that’s so _dreffully_ hard to ‘member!” He frowned, as if in agonies of thought, and tapped his forehead with his knuckles. “I _ca’n’t_ think enough to understand them!” he said despairingly. “It wants _double_ thinking, I believe!”
“But where’s Sylvie gone?”
