“I think you’ve broke my neck, kid,” he said, feebly, as quaking Billy helped him to his feet. “When I do my dishes, Mar, can I work in the garding, too?” inquired Betty. “Their knifes bin too dull, and she must quick be done,” Max apologized to Billy on his inspection trips. “Jimmy, can you stand?”.
