She came in bringing with her the very essence of outdoor freshness and buoyancy. “Amen!” “Why, Billy? I don’t believe in whipping unless all else fails.” “You had very soon to fight for the Douglases, didn’t you, Roderick Dhu?” she said, as Mrs. Bennett covered her with an apron, and Billy took her up and went toward the house..
