He threw the kindling into the wood box and grinned encouragement at Maurice, who had sunk miserably down on a stool.，CHAPTER VII DAVID'S TREAT，"Because I overheard his apology to my mother for having put her handkerchief to such use," replied Isabella, with suspicious promptitude.，Billy drew in his breath hard.
