Billy's mouth fell open in astonishment.,He bent his head and held his breath, oblivious to everything save the ecstasy of that moment.，"Well, do you believe in my charm now?" Billy asked.，"No coffee, thanks; had breakfast; I'll go 'long with you. Oh, by the way, Tom, I know now what caused that explosion t'other night," and the deacon proceeded to relate his investigation of the walled-in well.，"Oh, hello," he whispered, coldly.
