“Do you need it right away?” Billy stood his wheel against the steps and flung his books on the porch table. “Lan’ sakes, here’s friend neighbor,” exclaimed Mrs. Wopp entering the room from the kitchen, “yer jist in time to help this here pore overworked teacher with some papers she brung home from the school.” CHAPTER VIII.—BETTY VISITS THE CITY OF HER DREAMS.
