“It may have entertained the Cricket too, for anything I know; but, certainly, it now began to chirp again, vehemently.
“‘Heyday!’ said John, in his slow way. ‘It’s merrier than ever, tonight, I think.’
“‘And it’s sure to bring us good fortune, John! It always has done so. To have a Cricket on the Hearth, is the luckiest thing in all the world!’”
—A Cricket on the Hearth by Charles Dickens
Seasons Greetings! And a cricket on all our hearths!
Thank you so much for reading Evenings with Peter.
