Throughout this passage he did not think to consider her as the child of a great actress. To him she had always been a gentle, sweet, undemonstrative girl, ingenuous in speech, kind, charitable, beloved by the poor, one whose pursuits were amiable and pure.

Johnny was in despair. The boys had all been much quicker than he, and they would just say that he was too little and must be allowed double time.，"He will," cried Billy, "I know he will."“Billy,” she called.
