The air had rapidly grown more oppressive; now they knew the cause, the forest was on fire!,“I’m so sorry our afternoon has been spoiled,” she apologized. “While we wait we might as well have a cup of tea. Maria, rinse the silver teapot with boiling water.”,“A dose of senner tea’ll fix that, my boy,” was Mrs. Wopp’s cheerful rejoinder.,“That bunch with the tickets, them’s the refugees,” Billy whispered to Jean. “See? Mr. Patton’s talking to them. Mr. Brown’s going to take ’em to their places in his hack. I wonder which is ours. Jiminy! See how hard that poor little kid’s trying to bluff her tears!”,“Now, Mose, fer the elbow. Stiddy! Don’t shove! Don’t pull!

Wisht Betty was here right this minute. Mebbe I’m dyin’. Hope nobody starts twangin’ a harp.

The house cats drew back, curled their tails around their forefeet, and looked at the gorger in calm disdain.

“My boy, you have done a wonderful thing!” he said when Billy had finished. “You must come with me and tell your story again.

Mrs. Mifsud and her daughter Maria aged fourteen who had taken a “quarter” of music lessons and was now the organist of the church, were occupants. Between them was wedged the pet of the family St. Elmo Mifsud a child of four. St. Elmo wore long chestnut curls and an angelic expression. Clarence Egerton Crump, Mrs. Mifsud’s nephew who was visiting his aunt and cousins, accompanied the family on his wheel.,“So you can, but I’ll carry you just the same.” His smothering hold warned her to quiescence; and she did not stir till he set her within the rear door.,“But Mrs. Carter’ll expect—” Billy began, yet stopped, for the physician was laughing.,The elders, having settled at their task, Maria Mifsud and Betty, who were considered too young and irresponsible to assist with such important work, made their way to the creek, that perennial source of amusement for the youthful.
