Mrs. Wilson gazed sternly at Billy. "Willium, do you take Anson's tarts and pie?" she asked ominously. "No, I don't either, I mean his and Scroggie's game; of course Scroggie's behind him." "My name is Stanhope; Frank Stanhope." "Daddy," she cried, running over to kneel beside him. "It was selfish of me to leave you alone.".
