She shrugs her shoulders with genuine disgust.,“Moses iny boy, yer bile must be riz; this very night you git a dose of physic.” Moses lower lip dropped lower and lower.,"Why do you sing the death song?" asked Mrs. Dallas, opening her eyes,,"What?" The deacon gripped the boy's arm and shook him. "What's that you say?" he questioned eagerly.,But the deer began to grumble and said, "Well, it is true that out here on the prairie you have beaten me, but this is not where I live. I only come out here once in a while to feed or to cross the prairie when I am going somewhere. It would be fairer if we had a race in the timber. That is my home, and there I can run faster than you. I am sure of it.",Major Jen shook it in his usual kindly manner, and moved a step toward the door of the summer-house.
