"The poor thing was so lean an' hungry that it weaved when it walked; all we did was sneak it out o' the school-yard an' hide it where there was good pasture.","Don't need to take mine," Billy informed him. "What's the use of me takin' any; ain't one bad cough enough?","I was sent down here to give you a message, Mr. Shipley," said Billy.，"He's tryin' to coax me away from his treasure," Billy answered.
