Her brother Pat, sensing the situation, put up his hand eagerly and answered for her.,Mrs. Mifsud, in the lead of the rescuing party, ran through the garden gate in time to see St. Elmo fall headlong, his feet having become entangled in the long rank grass near the fence.,As Mrs. Wopp stood watching her family and the new teacher climb the hill on their way to school, she remarked to herself, “That boy jist naterly takes to mischief same as a gopher takes to my green peas.”，“Bully fer you, ’s Gordon,” shouted the excited Moses leaping furiously. “Keep her goin’.
