"She couldn't do it all at once. Such a stretch of fancy requires thought."，"But I ain't wantin' to fight," Billy returned gently.，It was nearly noon when Billy, bending beneath a load of wild ducks, came up the path to the cottage.

'Great God, I am recompensed! Surely this moment may repay a life of misery!'
