Then Aunt Grenertsen took the stamp and pasted it on the window pane nearest where she sat."Well, why not you and Alfred come along and make it a family party, if that is what suits Bill, the boss?"

"Say, you know a lot about snakes an' things, don't you?" he said admiringly.,"Mary," said the man, "I guess neither of us understand Billy and maybe we never will, quite.
