"What else, Billy?",Rosette thanked them for all the trouble they were taking; she promised to govern the kingdom well, and said that, during their absence, her only pleasure would be in looking at the peacock, and making her little dog dance. They all three cried when they said good-bye to each other.，“You are to hurry right home, John.”，Billy looked at her thoughtfully, wondering why her fearless criticism did not displease him; lifted his battered hat and mussed again his tousled hair. “All right, Fair Ellen, I’ll try to obey the—”，Like little mice, stole in and out,He touches his hat to her, and bids her a respectful "good afternoon," but for once she is blind to his salutation.
