Moses Wopp’s voice, loudest of all, sounded like a foghorn and the windows fairly rattled in their frames. Nell motioned him to her desk. She thought by occupying his attention elsewhere the music lesson might proceed with more melody and less noise. Moses had developed his stentorian tones at home, by the lusty singing of Hallelujah hymns under the strict supervision of his mother.,CHAPTER XVI THE BRIDGE TO SAFETY,In the meantime Mr. Wopp sitting precariously on the edge of the sofa was examining for at least the two-hundredth time the red plush album which contained the records of the Wopp family, past and present, in picture form. He looked long and earnestly at a tin-type representing a plump, velvet-coated, mop-haired boy of twelve. He sighed deeply.,“Rather like a dear little girl, that so will find her mother,” Mrs. Bennett reassured.，“You romp!” came the disgusted voice once more. “You’d better cut your hair, and your skirts, and be a child again.”，CHAPTER XVIII.—A PAIR OF CHECKED TROUSERS.，Upstairs the lightning filled Betty’s room with a weird intermittent radiance.
