Moses’ religion, bottled up during care-free days, burst forth in foam of intercession for Betty’s return to health.,"Set down there an' keep still as a mouse till I get back," he admonished. "I won't be long.",Billy felt his blood run cold. He could not believe his ears. The girl dressed in white and blue! Why, that was she—his angel—his light—his everything. And she was crying now.
