How to parse. ...

Par. 29.] THtE RELATIVE PRONOUN. 27 mon convinces me that a man that does not know the road well, may go on walking round and round for hours and only come back to the place he started fromn." Just then tlhe clouds, which, while lie had been wandering about, had hitherto covered the sky, now parted and showed a few stars. Among them was a constellation he knew very well, called the Great Bear. Then, all at once, what Mr. Barlow had told him occurred to his mind, that two of the Great Bear's * stars always point to.the Pole-star, which is always in the North. Now he knew that the farm he had lately left was six miles to the south of his home, so that the path he ought to take, lay to the north. Off he started at once, keeping his eyes on the Pole-star, which, though it led him through more brambles and furze and pools, yet at last brought him out of the common. When he came home, he told his father about the moving lights, which, his father informed him, were called Will o' the Wisps, or Jack o' Lanterns. Those lights came front the marshes, and it * was * the wind * that * made * them shake and dance about - which poor Harry mistook for the motion of a traveller. Words marked* are not to be parsed for the present.
