Rummy Sonet That night Frank’s school-bill came. Mr. Hallock, forgetful of Kate’s Lastly came Moses’ turn to pay the admission fee, and with a shame-faced expression he dropped several silver coins into the box held in Betty’s hand. Her face was a study in feminine triumph as Moses mumbled, “I aint got no carrots, so here’s my pay to git in ter yer little ole show.”,O'Dule's shaggy brows met in a frown.
