And the look in his face made her cold.,“Oh no Betty,” Moses tones were of an elder-brotherly authority, “yer li’l han’s aint meant fer sich servitood. I’d not stan’ by an’ see you do that.” With all his teasing at times, Moses adored his little foster-sister. He idealized her, and as Mrs. Wopp had often remarked, whenever Betty left his presence he saw her ascend into heaven in a “Whirlwin’ of fire, an’ go-cart of flame.”,“Hooray, Billy! Thirteen to-morrow! But this is the day we celebrate!”,Tellef and Johnny Blossom had been friends ever since that time long ago when they had had a fight and he had broken Tellef’s fishpole, and then had given him the two half-dollars he had got from Uncle Isaac. Never since had they been anything but the best of friends.,"Oh, I wouldn't put it that way," cried Judith, scandalized. "I'd just sort of hint around gently. Maybe they dug it up long ago."，"But where's Bill? Ain't he agoin?"，Mr. Wopp and Moses, who had hurried to the upper storey to escape the recital of the ketchup episode, now came heavily down the stairs, their task at last finished.，Mr Lawrence exclaimed: "Oh, it's you!

I’ll be going up north then, I think.”,Arkel made a gesture of disappointment.,"Yes, we mustn't forget Billy, God bless him.","But, as I said to Lady Rodney, suppose I haven't a headache," retorts Mona, triumphantly.,Mrs. Wilson stood, the picture of amazement.
