They will when I am bigger.” “Stop and chin with me just a little, won’t you, marmsey?” She was dressed in a simple velvet gown the color that the twilight sky takes just before the stars come out, sapphire blue. Her red pouting lips were curved in a caressing smile, and her eyes rimmed with their black curling lashes were full of the joy of life. Betty’s verdict, although punctuated by an interrogation point, had been correct when she first put the question to Moses, “Aint our new teacher lovely with her shinin’ blue eyes?” “All ready?” cried Captain Billy. “Are you ready, Ladybird?”.
