Nell Gordon declared that he was the roundest object she had ever seen in human form. Though he had arrived at the mature age of five, he still retained that cherubic appearance which one sees in the paintings of old masters.

Vigorously cleaning up the still bewildered victim, Mrs. Wopp hurled fresh orders. “Billy, my little, little boy!” She lifted the tousled head and pressed her cheek close against his. “They’ll have to be done before vacation or not at all,” he answered, so seriously that May Nell wondered a little; wondered still more as the moments passed and the dark room grew very quiet. She did not know what purpose was growing in Billy’s mind, a purpose that largely concerned herself.
