"It's the rheumatics. It's got into my feet and my shoulders. It's a pain as no spirits can stand up against." 10 pounds granulated sugar. "Oh, Ringdo ain't cross," laughed Billy, "he's only playful. He's over to Teacher Stanhope's. He's so fond of the teacher he won't stay away from him." Billy, who had squared away at his breakfast, spoke with his mouth full. "We're goin' to have 'em fer dinner," he informed his hostess..
