The express waggon with a wheel off was overturned and a frightened. “Cheep, cheep, cheep” came from beneath it. “She’s a reglar show-lady,” defended Moses. This was hardly a strategic move from Moses, as he had just asserted they had been doing nothing. “The robin is jist the carinest bird,” she added..
