“My clothes mostly,” he replied, hoping he had told the truth, though a dreadful, big feeling in his head, the humming in his ears, and the pain in his eyes, made him guess he had told a lie. “You must do it,” he spelled. His stiffened fingers must have carried authority, for she nodded; and he saw her get a chair and stand with it, ready to do his bidding. “Dad an’ Mosey don’t look orful happy,” she laughed. “Smile at me, Mosey.” “Why do you think that’s so dreadful?”.
