Five pairs of hands shoved the smart boat into the water at May Nell’s feet. The children shouted. The dog barked and the chickens cackled. And above all the din May Nell’s sweet voice rang out, “I christen thee, O wondrous vessel, The Fair Ellen.” She improvised hastily; for no one had thought to prepare a speech for the occasion.,Betty was still faintly laughing at Moses’ spirited retort to his mother’s observations on his singing.,Moses blushed deeply and dared not raise his eyes from the ground lest Isobel should see his embarrassment.,School having been closed a week for repairs Miss Gordon had brought Betty to the shining city of her childish dreams.,“A cat tablecloth!” the little girl laughed.，“But Mrs. Carter’ll expect—” Billy began, yet stopped, for the physician was laughing.，Mrs. Bennett smiled. She thought they could have had no trouble in locating Billy.，“I hope my breakfast won’t be quite so—”“Why, Billy? I don’t believe in whipping unless all else fails.”

Mrs. Wopp’s voice spanned an interval of about a dozen semi-tones, and as it always grew in volume in direct ratio to the emergency of the duty to be imposed, the last syllable of her son’s name fell on that wretched boy’s ear like a clap of thunder.

But gratitude for Jimmy’s bravery and May Nell’s safety supplanted even in the youngest heart all regret for the boat.,Billy could not remember that he had.,He tidied himself, bade his mother good-bye, and followed the girls to rehearsal.,“Don’t go off Mr. Potter’s land, will you, May Nell? The fenced part, I mean. Eat some lunch soon; Billy may be gone an hour longer. Good-bye. Don’t get too tired. I’ll send Clarence if I can find him.”,“Well?” she questioned.,Locked up!
