It pleased her to play teacher. She asked Billy numberless questions, coaxed him to explain what she did not understand. And he soon learned that one must know a thing very well before he can tell it. He dictated some of the written work, and she transcribed it in her prim little script.,Vigorously all joined in the closing hymn and Mrs. Wopp’s high soprano could be heard above all the other voices. A sense of duty well performed added even greater power to the vocal billowing.,To stay the cloud that began to gather over Moses’ brow, Howard suggested going to see a vaudeville show.,This account of the abruptly ended career of her predecessor was somewhat disturbing to Nell.，This act opened with a hidden chorus that lasted two or three moments, the fairies on the one hand inviting the elves and gnomes to join them; the others responding.

She was morally certain that her Ebenezer in his shyness would make a muddle of the sale, so she hastened to offer a suggestion.,“Perhaps not,” answered Nell, “I can see there are wonderful possibilities in this vast country. Some day this prairie will be dotted here and there with prosperous towns. But don’t let us be serious. Here’s a grand place for a race.

Moses stood, turning till each freckle on his ruddy face shone with honest sweat.,Presently Clarence caught up to him and bore him down a side street lest further attempts at apology should cause him to again accost the irate stranger.,CHAPTER XII THE CIRCUS,Billy knew that the man was going to the spring for water; knew where it was hidden, far in the woods, big and round, deep and clear!
