The house was too small for him. He ran out into the summer evening, down the hill to the big rock that overhangs Runa Creek. The stars were beginning to shine, and he could hear the tinkle of the water below. Bouncer rubbed against him, and Billy hugged him to the peril of the old dog’s breath.,“But she’s a girl.”,“Oh, no; she must be Jean.”，“St. Elmo’s lost, Ma,” wailed Maria. “We can’t find him and he’s wandered down the creek.”，As she went about her work, Betty’s braids of fair hair tied with wisps of faded red ribbon stood out stiffly from her head.
