And he ran— O Billy, you’d have laughed an ache in your side if you could have seen him run,—over the fence, he ran again, across the street, down the sidewalk,—he never stopped till he came to the tip top of Mr. Potter’s big locust tree.”,“But Jean’s two times as big as May Nell.”,"But how did you manage to procure their good graces?",Going home from school one Friday afternoon, Moses heard sniggering half-suppressed comments behind him.
