“You had very soon to fight for the Douglases, didn’t you, Roderick Dhu?” she said, as Mrs. Bennett covered her with an apron, and Billy took her up and went toward the house. “Every tub must stan’ on its own bottom,” commented Mrs. Wopp. But even as she spoke, an unmistakable expression of gratified pride spread over her large motherly countenance.

Mrs. Bennett came in and tried to learn the trouble; but it was some time before May Nell could be induced to tell. “I am not going to let you see any more compositions,” exclaimed Nell, “You are just making fun of my poor children.” “What is Fuji Mamas?” What if the Italians should be there? Impossible. Surely they would be on the mountain fighting fire. What if the door should be locked? The thought made him tremble, yet he hurried on and softly tried the handle. It would not open!.
