The notes were plentiful, but they failed in some unaccountable way to prod his memory.,CHAPTER XVII BILLY TO-DAY,All this time Mrs. Wopp ran breathlessly up and down stairs attending to the feverish child. Even wash-day was postponed, but the terrors of that dread event would never again appal Moses, he felt sure, if only Betty got well. Ebenezer Wopp was distracted and neglected to take his usual number of notes.,She put back his tumbled hair, looked long into his eyes, realizing with a shock that she was looking up. Her little boy was gone.,He winced with pain, reeled, and would have fallen but for the other’s sustaining hand.，He obeyed, talking whimsically to his pets as he went.，She stood at the end of the creaking wharf, and one little bare arm was lifted high. She held a small fruit jar filled with water and beet juice.

Dampening one corner of it in his mouth, the most expeditious thing to do under the circumstances, he carefully wiped around the outside of these funereal bands, reducing them slightly in size but also straightening their edges.,Yet the impression of the night had been deep enough to wake him before the sun rose.
