But, as has been before stated, Jen had concluded to be his own detective.,"You misunderstand me," says Mona, with tears in her eyes.,“Here, here! You mustn’t do that,” Billy gently coaxed, rising and taking her hand. “You’ll make me draw salt water, too. And it don’t help, you know. I’ll tell you what—you can work some, gather the flowers. I’ll show you how.
