Into Billy's cheeks the blood sprang as into his heart joy ran riot.,The real Fairy Gift is amiability!,"Only this, that he has gone up to town without bidding me good-by, save in this short note. I can't understand such conduct."，For a brief instant the Australian's eyes flash fire; then he lowers his lids, and laughs quite easily.，"Do not come any nearer," he says, hastily, "I can tell it all to you better, more easily, when I cannot see you."，But Billy gazed dully at the treasure with sinking heart and murmured: "You danged old humbug, you!" Croaker was surprised, indignant, hurt. He reached down and struck one of the shiniest of the bottles with his beak but even the happy tinkle that ensued failed to rouse enthusiasm in his master."I'll do jest as you say, Bill," Anse promised, fervently, and Billy knew that he meant it.
