For a minute Billy stood, dazed, his heart thumping hard. Then he threw his cap in the air, sang out, “Bully for the Gang! This time it’s Billy To-day!” and raced down the hill to join them. As he reached for his cap a door opposite the one through which he had passed opened, and the grey head of the sexton appeared.

“Mosey!” “Cows have a long tale. They wave it and it keeps there back cool, sometimes they wave it to keep off flies and other insecks. Cows cannot run as fast as a hoarse but if she is chasing you she seems to be running very fast. If she chases you pick up a tin can or pale and hit on it with a stone. The cow will then stampeed. Cows have four feet called hoofs. They are useful for walking this is all I know about cows.” “Your nose is out of joint, Edith! I’ve got a new sister.” But his eyes belied his blunt words. “‘Mosey’?
