Each one waved a small flag, and sang lustily—,Betty’s tears by now were flowing too fast for her to make an answer. She picked up the whimpering dog and proceeded to carry him home. From time to time Moses stroked the quivering head and murmured low phrases of comfort.,“The child may eclipse you in refining Billy’s language,” Mrs. Bennett said, with a smile, aside to Edith; and went into the kitchen to “dish up” the dinner.,In his overcoat Mr. Zalhambra seemed to fill the doorway as Mrs. Newman greeted him.

Visions of a sumptuous repast had flitted before the minds of her listeners and a spirit of restlessness pervaded the loft.，“You’d think this here day’s trip to Calgary was a journey to Jeroosalem,” he complained, all his slips of paper used up in jottings to remind him of duties imposed.，“Yet let him sleep downstairs,” Edith persisted.，Mrs. Bennett continued her gentle, even strokes; bent and kissed him softly before replying. “Duty looks narrow only when it opposes inclination, my child.

Mosey,” coaxingly, “you cut them fer me.”,“‘Place there the boy,’ the tyrant said,Uplifted by limburger, Mr. Wopp grew emboldened, “Jist a mouthful of somethink don’t hurt nobody, an’ I’ll be asleep afore you kin say Jack Robinson, an’ ef I talk as loud as you snore, we’re even I reckon.”,“No matter, Billy. I think she was sent to us; and we shall find a way. Are the chickens fed?”,“Mith Wopp, had Jonah any little girlth or boyth at home?”,“Lan’ sakes, here’s friend neighbor,” exclaimed Mrs. Wopp entering the room from the kitchen, “yer jist in time to help this here pore overworked teacher with some papers she brung home from the school.”,“Aint it amazin’ how hungry one gits,” hoarsely remarked Mr. Wopp who had not spoken for some time owing to close application to the task in hand. “Lize, I want a piece of that punkin pie of yourn.” Here he caressed the bulging buttons on his waistcoat. “My mouth’s waterin’ fer it an’ I b’lieve I hev room.”,“Well, old Tom’ll have to be cleverer than I ever saw him to pay for that.”.
