“It’s only your notion, Billy, that mother’s cream is best; but I’ve been very happy making it for you.” She began at once to serve it. “All over the house does she put them?” the child asked after she had snipped a fragrant heap. “Oh that is a little girl visiting us.

It is only the foolish warrior who travels in the day. The wise one knows that war-parties may be out, or that some camp watcher sitting on a hill may see him far off and may try to kill him.

Mrs. Mifsud, however, had seemingly heard not a word of the story.
