Wisht I was a boy.”，“Now Moses,” she called at the end of the third verse, “git the water for the rinsin’.” The clanking lessened and slowly died down to a complaining rumble. It might have been some monster suffering from indigestion.，Having thus disposed of Jonah to her own evident satisfaction, and having as she considered, given much valuable instruction, Mrs. Wopp proceeded to question the children.“And could he beat the old gentleman?” inquired Nell Gordon, vastly entertained.

They were followed by Betty, who had been filling her watering-can from the rain-barrel and had also heard the cries of the frightened child.,Oh, where have you been, charming Billy?”,Molly enjoyed the attentions of Betty and contentedly chewed her cud.
