Edith went to church, Billy to keep an appointment with his teacher; and the spring twilight settled down over the room.

Yet though she was gone but a moment, on returning a sob greeted her from the cuddled heap on the couch.,“But she’s a girl.”,“I hope when you are growed up, my dear, you will never dance them waltzes an’ two-steps. The good Lord carnt love them as does sich things.”,She shook her head.,Now the dance was a two-step and Mrs. Wopp, who drew a hard and fast line at round dances, declaring they were instigated by the evil one, sat and looked on talking to Betty meanwhile.，“And help?” May Nell asked, eagerly.，Moses regretted a hundred times his refusal to grant Betty’s request for two bits.
