Whose feet never tire, Mrs. Williams was a round-faced dimpled persuasive lady; and Mrs. Wropp, being non-coax-proof and flattered by the request, consented. “Now Moses,” announced his mother, “Jist for a change an’ rest like, turn this here separator.” “All right, Doc,” the other replied a bit gruffly; “suppose we catch ’em before we fight about the divvy.”.
