When they entered the Sheriff’s office again it was two o’clock. He was there, and gave Billy a private audience far more graciously than he would have done had not Doctor Carter’s presence been voucher for the importance of the matter. When the boy repeated his story, less confidently, less dramatically than before, yet not needing the Doctor’s comment to prove its value, the Sheriff drew a long breath and emphasized it with a blow of his fist on the table. “Oh ’bout the fairies an’ stars an’ lovely things that grownups know nothin’ about.” From the waist down, Moses’ masculine and uncouth figure seemed to utter a dull protest against cut-me-downs.
