Then with characteristic deliberation she placed it safely away beneath her saucer, thereby signifying that the incident was closed for the time being.，Like a flash Billy was on his feet. "Stop!" he cried, his voice ringing out like a challenge. "You don't whip her if I know it."，"Yep; she's cannin' thimble-berries.
