“Ef you could only see how you look, Betty. You must hev some eyebrows somehow.” “This isn’t so bad,” he continued, as he led her into a sunny upper chamber that looked on the mountain in the rear. “And it’ll be all over in a day or so; you’ll see your father,—on the square you will, little kid. Do you think you’ll scream? You’d better not.” He put his hand under her chin to lift her face, and she was glad he wore gloves. Mrs. Bennett spoke frequently of the change in Billy. He was growing more thoughtful, observant. He remembered small duties, noticed if mother or sister looked tired or ill, and volunteered help where formerly he would not have known help was needed. Perhaps none of them knew, least of all May Nell herself, how lastingly her example of watchful kindness had impressed itself on Billy’s heart..

“Yes; but I’m afraid my papa’s dead, he’s been gone so long.” How she hated that word “kid.” “I think you’ve broke my neck, kid,” he said, feebly, as quaking Billy helped him to his feet. “Yes, yes; take us to the park, papa,” piped one half of the Siamese Twins. “You had very soon to fight for the Douglases, didn’t you, Roderick Dhu?” she said, as Mrs. Bennett covered her with an apron, and Billy took her up and went toward the house..
