Thus helmeted he stood and gazed at Betty as though the hinges of his jaw were loosening. Al Newman arranged all the theatre parties for his wife and guests. He opened up the piano as he spoke and turned to the musician. “Don’t you think the new teacher is jist lovely Moses, with her big shinin’ blue eyes an’ wavy black hair?” Betty eagerly enquired, “An’ aint her clothes lovely too?” CHAPTER I THE LITTLE EARTHQUAKE GIRL.
