But Betty insisted on his getting full value for his money, and dared him to descend until the round of the arena had been completed. “But Jean’s two times as big as May Nell.” May Nell sat still and smiled modestly. Billy stared at her, feeling still more foolish over his own mistake. “She’ll be all right. May Nell and me—I—we took our lunch and went over to Potter’s pasture. Shoot! She’s waiting now! I hope the poor little kiddie—little girl—eats, don’t wait for me,—she an’ Bouncer.”.
