Moses stoically told his tale of assault. “For three days an’ three nights there was no sleep fer his eyes nor slumber fer his eyelets.” “Did you hev a good time in the city larst week, Mis’ Mifsud?” asked Mrs. Wopp, politely. What really ailed Moses was the prospect of bolstering up the pipes again..
