“I c’d eat a rhindoceros,” he confided to Clarence. “S’Gordon won’t care,” grunted Moses. “She never had to wear Par’s old pants, an’ she won’t un’erstan’ how a feller feels.” Billy sprang up. The dark man of the sinister house was passing on his way to town; had answered a horseman’s salute. The boy could not see the house; but on the high hill above it he saw the other brother, regardless of the Sabbath, hoeing his vineyard. CHAPTER XVII.—A SAMPLE OF EBENEZER WOPP’S IRE..
