You are bound to pay for your fun, you know, sooner or later.",Billy at work or at play was so absorbed that it was hard for him to measure time; and he had a queer notion that it was some other intelligence beside his own will that reminded him, often too late, of duties waiting. This he named Betsey; and among the children Betsey came to stand for Billy’s conscience.,“Yes, we have, Billy,” Mrs. Bennett corrected. “Bring them in now. Let May Nell see our entire cat family.” She followed him out, and presently returned with a plate of cut meat which she placed on a newspaper on the hearth.,"I seek my wife," said the man, "whom you have stolen. There hang her eyes.",“Never mind Mosey, yer heart don’t need fixin’ anyhow,” comforted Betty.，"Yes," he answered. "I told him that same day.
