This is the way we fell over each other.” And Johnny Blossom demonstrated on the veranda floor how they had been cast ashore.,Poor Mr. Carter said when Billy cut his teeth that a neighbour's baby can be worse than your own.

Always his little, warm, wilty body has comforted me for the emptiness of not having a little one of my own. And he's very congenial, too, for he's slim and flowery, pink and dimply, and as mannish as his father, in funny little flashes.,Was ever woman in this humour won?"，"Well, I'd rather take a chance with a bear than a ghost, wouldn't you Bill?"，Billy looked gravely down at his accuser, then apprehensively at his judge.
