He hinted that there would be no more light in him, than in Job’s blind eye, should Betty be lost to him.，“Don’t Betty look jist too sweet,” she murmured when she had finally located the child, “Her hair looks as ef she had got tangled up in the milky way an’ there was nothin’ on it but star-dust.”，“Why not arsk Geordie Hodgekiss.
