I verily believe it was from being really jealous that he asked little Pet Buford to dance with him—by mistake as it were.，For a minute Billy stood, dazed, his heart thumping hard. Then he threw his cap in the air, sang out, “Bully for the Gang! This time it’s Billy To-day!” and raced down the hill to join them.The stars are coming out one by one,—slowly, tranquilly, as though haste has got no part with them.

He flew to the door by which he had entered, and was fortunate enough to reach it before the entrance of the persons whose steps he heard.
