I couldn' do more jest then than look him a promise to settle with him later, 'cause I had my hands full as it was.

That there little Tommy of mine grows like a ship you're arisin'. Because I'm his father I'm not goin' to pretend he don't improve every voyage.",Oh, what joy it was to ride!

"How did you know?" he stammered.,"I guess maybe it was," Billy confessed. "Anyways I've got all I want of it.
