She busied herself preparing the tubs for rinsing, singing in a high tremolo, “Shall we gather at the river?”,Mr. Wopp and Moses, who had hurried to the upper storey to escape the recital of the ketchup episode, now came heavily down the stairs, their task at last finished.,“Can he mean ‘prodigy,’ do you think, May Nell?” Edith’s eyes were mischievous.，“Be keerful how you shoot that checker Betty or we’re goin’ to git beat,” admonished Moses. He found himself opposed to no mean antagonists.，Jimmy was the first to stand and cheer.，Evelyn relieved of her fear of the tottering kettle, roused to her charge. “Go ’way, Billy! Thank you, Billy. You mustn’t stay here! They’ll scold me. They said for me not to let you come; an’—”“An’ where did you hear it, my dear?” she queried, cautiously feeling her way.

“Mith Wopp, had Jonah any little girlth or boyth at home?”,May Nell sat still and smiled modestly. Billy stared at her, feeling still more foolish over his own mistake.,Down the road came a democrat. In the front seat sat Mr. and Mrs. Wopp resplendent in Sunday attire and both wearing bouquets of bright nasturtiums. Behind them sat Moses and Betty also dressed in their best. Moses was cogitating, “Its a blessin’ Betty’s eyebrows hev growed out. She cut an orful figger without them.” Keeping pace with the democrat; but roving here and there in search of gophers ran Jethro enjoying himself mightily.,In his distress his wandering eye discovered a bunch of vine ties, short pieces of soft hemp rope for fastening vines to their supporting stakes. They were hanging against the rear of the coop, and a gust of wind had blown them into view. Like a flash he sprang and caught them; tied several together in quick, strong knots, and lashed himself to the little tree. Then he took up the board again, poised it at a perpendicular, calculated the angle, and slowly dropped it. Would the end reach the sill? No, it was too short!,Clank! Clank! Clank!,“You don’t like Sir Thomas because he’s a little indolent.”,“I guess he didn’t say ‘lick,’ Billy.”,Mrs. Bennett continued her gentle, even strokes; bent and kissed him softly before replying. “Duty looks narrow only when it opposes inclination, my child. Selfish people hate duty; but those who live the longest and best lives could tell you that every victory duty wins brings an ever-increasing joy.”,The pictures that followed were of fairies and sprites irresistible to childish minds.,“Not unless you wish to so much that you will not do anything else, Billy. The world needs preachers of the right kind sadly; and the right kind take up the calling reverently, though they know it will bring them small worldly return and much toil.”,“What a funny word! What do you mean?”,The boy was very still for a little, but burst out presently: “I’m going to work, mother; as soon as school closes I’ll start.”.
