This guiding star of Moses is our guiding star, too.” After a moment Howard continued, “I wish we could transplant this morning-glory into our garden, don’t you?”Outside the spring warmth and fragrance enfolded the children as a mantle, opening their hearts to each other.

Each guest could be secretly advised to bring as many carrots as could be conveniently carried to gain entrance to “The greatest movin’ picter gallery in the world, where fairies an’ birds an’ flowers would act an’ tarlk.” The carrots so obtained could be auctioned off to the adults present, and Betty felt sure that her mother, seeing her carrots were not a success, would give a high price for the succulent vegetables. A discreet hint must also be thrown out that anyone not so fortunate as to be the possessor of a spare carrot could bring silver.,“Arsk a blessin’, Ebenezer.”,As he reached for his cap a door opposite the one through which he had passed opened, and the grey head of the sexton appeared.,“Oh, Betty, you got ole man Noer stuck in the shade.

Moses’ moroseness had by now developed into a complaint, the chief symptoms of which were sniffling and coughing.,From where he stood Billy could see the distress in her face. He must think of a way to get her, and he must, must hurry!,This account of the abruptly ended career of her predecessor was somewhat disturbing to Nell.,Ebenezer Wopp became the grateful recipient of a quire of paper for notes. Miss Gordon was enabled to add to the decorations of her bureau a celluloid pictureframe on which were painted vivid blue and pink forget-me-nots.
