The deacon started. "Yes, did he tell you about it?" "Yes. They were out in Billy's punt, gathering water-lilies, and, oh Daddy, they seemed so happy. I could have hugged them both. Billy told me that he and Maurice Keeler were going shooting ducks this morning and I asked him to come over here for breakfast as usual. The marsh shooting is all over by sunrise, you know." "Then you knowed I was scared?" he cried in wonder. Billy did so. Then, there being nothing more left to do, he stepped back to watch the fireworks..
