The girls looked at one another in the mute scrutiny children bestow on newcomers, May Nell the least embarrassed of the three.,From the lower slopes of the Cedar Hills issued many wide wooded ravines. Of these none were prettier than Spring Coulee which even in winter retained its attractiveness, having a goodly sprinkling of evergreen trees among the poplars and cottonwoods lining its sides. A grassy level formed the bottom of the coulee. Through the centre of this a little crystal-clear stream, rising in the hills behind and swelled by an occasional spring which gushed from the sides of the ravine, danced over its pebbly bed to join Berry Creek a mile away.,“Had a fall, Billy?” Every one knew the boy.,She smiled faintly. “Then my feelings must be bloodthirsty, Billy. How dreadful!”，Mrs. Mifsud who had listened to this recital with polite interest, now excused herself on the plea of urgent duties in the kitchen.，“Are your going to church?” she asked, disappointment drawing her lips to a tremulous curve.，They came to the crest of the gorge. “We’ll have to slow up and zig-zag down carefully or they’ll hear us an’ get away,” Billy suggested.“Do you need it right away?” Billy stood his wheel against the steps and flung his books on the porch table.

“Why, I wonder? She used to watch us at it and laugh.”,“Oh ’bout the fairies an’ stars an’ lovely things that grownups know nothin’ about.”,“Not a bit!” His words were strangely impatient. “I’ve got to find her!” He started past them.,“Jiminy whiz! Your royal splendor dazzles me!” Billy chaffed.,“Moses didn’t want to clip me Mar, but I thought ’twould be a ’provement to hev nice white eyebrows.” As Betty spoke one large tear rolled slowly down her cheek moistening in its course a small drop of blacking which Moses had overlooked in his cleansing operations, adding still more to the child’s grotesque appearance.,The Bennetts’ was one of the oldest places in town, and the most beautiful. It was near the heart of the growing village ambitiously calling itself a city. Level lawns protected by high hedges and shaded by many trees, spread amply around the house and back to the first terrace, where a tangle of berry vines covered trellises that shut off a lower level devoted to vegetables. Beyond this was the chickens’ domain, rock-dotted acres that sloped sharply to where Runa Creek boiled over its stony bed. Here mother hens fluttered and scolded while web-footed broods paddled in the edges of the stream.,Mrs. Wopp was overcome with laughter at the bare memory of the picture her irate husband had presented.,“Ugh! Confound their impudence, I’ll make them listen yet to something else than rag.”,Innocuous as this remark might seem, it caused St. Elmo’s lip to quiver and two large tears started on their grimy course down his cheeks.,In front of the stone steps that led up to the barred door he hesitated; but the dog raced round to the rear. Instantly Billy followed.,“Mudgie never saw any fairies,” replied Mrs. Mifsud, “But she is glad St. Elmo can see them.”,“Why, you see,” Billy hesitated, for he was modest, “sister has a class of us heathen boys, and—well, you see, it’s this way; sister says,—she’s partial, you know,—she says I have influence; if I don’t giggle the others won’t, and she gets on O.
