My—boy!” Mrs. Bennett bent over him; and he felt a tear where her cheek touched his.,Moses was whistling a dismal discordant air in the backyard when the voice of his mother smote his ears.，“Yer a limb o’ Satan orl right. The shawl was needin’ dyein’ anyway. I’ll jist make it green. Yer Par used to say I looked right harnsome in green, so I’ll s’prise him with a new shawl over my shoulders.” She turned to the dog.
