“Oh, chuck the business,” Jean said impatiently. “Can’t it wait till noon? I must go home then.” In spite of noise and heedlessness there was something fine and true about Billy; something that made old Bouncer whine when left behind; something that called the kittens to rub against his legs; that made the little children at school adore him, and men and women smile heartily when they greeted him.
