Mrs. Dallas, closing her eyes, continued rocking herself to and fro, saying but one word in answer. "Precisely. As you know the body was stolen before the post-mortem examination could be made. Why was this? Does not your own reason find an answer to that question?" "No," said Jen, in an inflexible voice. "I go to punish the man who killed my boy.".

I verily believe it was from being really jealous that he asked little Pet Buford to dance with him—by mistake as it were. Then I refused to let Tom come inside the gate, and he went down the street whistling, only when he got to the purple lilac he turned and kissed his hand to me. That, Mrs. Johnson just couldn't stand, and she came across the street immediately and called me back to the gate..
