A great wave struck against the buoy, leaving his stockings dripping wet up to the knees.,In spite of her smile there was a tinge of gravity in her silent moment of consideration. “Very well, Billy. You know how short Saturday is, and that to-morrow you’ll wish you’d cut the grass to-day. Yet I leave it to you; do as you like.”,Then, as suddenly as the hope had come, it fled.
