I went on digging without looking up at him. I couldn't look up because I was blushing still worse. Sometimes I hate that man, and if he wasn't Billy's father I wouldn't be as friendly with him as I am. But somebody has to look after Billy.,Patricia drew a deep breath.,“Well—that was because of the boat-hook, you see; but I asked him to excuse me and we shook hands.”,"You have stolen me from my home, sir," she exclaimed in a piteous, almost whining voice, "and I am without clothes except the dress that I am wearing, and they will soon be in rags, which will flutter if I begin to dance.",CHAPTER IV.—WASH-DAY AT MRS.
