“You never give my cats a chance,” Billy complained. “Yes, now. Once she must have been about the same size, you know.” She stood behind the child caressing her cheek. “La now! An’ why do you say that, my dear?” inquired Mrs. Wopp. “Set up straight, Moses, yer back looks like you was packin’ a sack of pertaters.” “Mrs. Newman, may I come again,” he turned confidentially to his hostess, “I am head over ears in love with your charming cousin.”.
