I don’t know why, but I know who,—it’s the Ha’nt people!” Billy panted, coming out of the Lodge.,Many times she had seen Mrs. Bennett transplant the garden flowers, had helped; now she put all her lore to use. Patiently she toiled with brittle sticks and pointed stones till the vine was replanted against the rude walls; emptied the dinner pail and trudged back and forth to the river several times for water, to wet the earth above the roots; and patted it down with muddy little hands.,“Never mind Mosey, Next Monday I’m goin’ to ask Mar to let me stay home and turn the nasty mouldy machine.”,A small stove had been set up in the improvised kitchen, and a big boiler filled with water. This was now boiling furiously and the ladies proceeded to make the coffee. Cakes and pies were cut, cups and saucers were piled in one huge basket and sandwiches in another.,CHAPTER III.—A DAY AT SCHOOL.，The words were hardly out of his mouth when the sound of an approaching team was heard. Betty eyed ruefully the silk shawl she had flung on the ground.，“Smile, Moses, dern yer empty corn-cob face! Smile!” shouted one.，“I think the linin’ of Miss Gordon’s cloud needs polishin’ these days,” ventured Betty, shyly.“Look he’s been here,” said Betty, pointing to a small footprint in the moist soil, “An’ he’s headed down the crick.”

The pursuit lasted longer than was anticipated and was most disastrous to the clean kitchen floor. Betty and Moses themselves got soot on their shoes and their footprints wrought havoc in the spotless kitchen.,Suddenly a light, as a blinding flash of lightning, seemed to reveal to the boy his deficiencies.

The tear he got in the seat of his pants was somethin’ shockin’.”,“You know that bad, old, half-tailed Tom that whips every cat in town but Geewhillikins and Flash and Sir Thomas—”,Billy was suddenly overcome with bashfulness when the child, quite composed, came forward to meet him. A bath, a shampoo, and new clothes had transformed her from a tangled, smudged little girl to a lovely miss with a high-bred air foreign to the childish manners Billy understood. He recognized Edith’s gown in the pretty frock mother and daughter had sat late to make over; but the neat ties and hose, all the little things it takes to make a girl look pretty, where had they come from?,The child obeyed, but her fingers trembled; and Bouncer whined and licked her hand.,Nell confessed she had heard of it.,He was standing disconsolate, looking up the street for stragglers, when his mother came in again.,Ebenezer Wopp sat at the head of the table.
