Here Moses and his mother were already hard at work.,“She can’t, you know; she and sister have to work hard to make what we spend now. I don’t do half enough myself.”,They were at the dripping roadside tank and back in a trice. Gently where a moment before he had been ferocious with anger, Billy wiped his play-mate’s face, or rather, changed the mud from one spot to another, got him to his feet again, and finally into the buggy with the little girls by his side.,“Gosh! Wisht Betty was here right this minute. Mebbe I’m dyin’. Hope nobody starts twangin’ a harp. My nose is worser’n ever!”,CHAPTER I THE LITTLE EARTHQUAKE GIRL，Billy made no reply.
