The Cover
- Away they go, whooshing toward someplace where there’s lots of green land and a far-arching abundance of sky. All hands are sparkle-eyed with vigor and vim, even mother, although she had to start doing chores at six A.M. to get this show on the road by eight. (Ignore Spot-eye, the dog, who is just taking a cat nap.) In due time the food is eradicated, the gang’s vigor is renewed, the dog takes a dog nap, and mother applies her vim—ant and he will muse, “Ah, to be a child again!” Most adults get scared pie-eyed in their own beds by strange noises in the house; so why yearn for childhood? The lads in Sewell’s painting have one greater thrill ahead, the night they use sleeping bags out under the bare, mysterious stars. That will be the night of the big electric storm and cloudburst.
