“This is like the cup I had at Mrs. Newman’s, in Calgary,” said Betty, then turning to Nell she asked, “Do you ’member the lovely chiner cups at Mrs. Newman’s, time Mr. Zalhamber was there?” They all went off, a merry, noisy troop. And the disappearing sun was the last to say to Billy “Good-night.” Friday came; and May Nell delighted her father with her part in the exercises.
