Nothing worth knowing was unknown to old Alison she could tell them where the fairies danced by night, and the names and habits of the different people who live in the stars, and the reason Why thrushes' eggs have black Spots and hedge sparrows' none, and how to make Toffee of Paradise, and a thousand useful and wonderful things beside.
