We’ll have to hurry if we do the circus and “Lady of the Lake” both before vacation.”,“Some of the real stuff,” he requested, “just to make these folks realize they haven’t begun to live yet.”,As Mrs. Wopp was preparing for bed that night, she recalled the sensation the sight of her reckless offspring had given her.,“We left him by the creek, Ma, playing in the sand,” was the reply. “When Betty and me tried to make him come in he slapped us.”,“Wot fer? You girls is alius thinkin’ o’ money.” Moses clinked the nickels in his pocket with the air of a Vanderfeller.
