"William Wilson will tell us why Christ walked on the sea of Galilee," he boomed. "Come William, answer up, my boy." "Jest a minute, young man." Caleb's voice was stern. "I see you've cut your own and your best gal's initials onto my new bench. Did you have much trouble doin' it, might I ask?" "That's jest what I thought," said Billy. "I'll darken it some.".
