Her red pouting lips were curved in a caressing smile, and her eyes rimmed with their black curling lashes were full of the joy of life. Betty’s verdict, although punctuated by an interrogation point, had been correct when she first put the question to Moses, “Aint our new teacher lovely with her shinin’ blue eyes?”,“Are you hurt?” Billy spelled with the hand alphabet every boy and girl knows.,However, the stove-pipe was at last cleaned and ready to put up.
