Her brother Pat, sensing the situation, put up his hand eagerly and answered for her.,“Run, Billy! You left the door open—she’ll get the dinner!” Mrs. Bennett cautioned, hurrying out herself to reckon the loss.,Before answering, the child glanced fearfully around to see if his uncanny foe had gone, and he was relieved to find that Job was hastening to meet his ever-constant friend Betty who had just entered the garden. Betty’s progress had been greatly retarded by the weight of the brimimng watering-can, which she had not stopped to set down though the contents had splashed freely over her dress and shoes.,“Never mind yer notes, Ebenezer, jist you sarve the pork.”，“I just said the whale must have been bustin’?” admitted Pete, reluctantly.

What’s happened, kid?” Billy asked, slowing up beside him.，Mrs. Newman and Nell waited after the show for the unique trio that had occupied the box but they were nowhere to be seen.

Did you ever see him climb up and open the screen?”,“Yes, I could eat a graven image.”,“That’s no giant. She isn’t bigger’n a kid. Will she let you come to play?
