Freddy Firefly in "Jennie Junebug"

On the day—or rather, on the night—when he first met Jennie Junebug, Freddy Firefly was ill at ease. In fact it might be truthfully said that he was quite upset.One beautiful, warm, dark night early in the summer Freddy was hurrying to join a big family party which was already gathering in the hollow beyond the hill.He was scooting along through the damp air, flashing his light at the rate of about thirty-six times a minute, when a heavy body bumped into him and knocked him head over heels upon the grass-carpeted ground.
