As fer me, I aint got time to do much fancy work an’ I’d never git round to a job like this fer myself.”,“Please, Mith Wopp, the latht windthorm upthet our hen-houth.”,Nothing loth to keep the distance between himself and Nell at a minimum, Howard Eliot entered with zest into the boy’s plans.，“Well, I’ll see,” replied Moses, but as he plunged his hand again into his pocket the cheerful jingle of coins stirred his masculine sense of ownership to profounder depths and he frowned and turned on his heel.，Billy hesitated a minute.

We’re to have him for a side show after the performance. We’ve advertised him,” Billy pleaded well.,They tied the horses, and once hidden from the road, shed every superfluous garment.
