She knew that in the child’s hot grasp the flowers would soon droop and she loved them so dearly that she grieved to see them wither and die. St. Elmo, however, was not satisfied.,At last, as she grows weary for wishing for it,—,Billy hesitated a minute.

He ought to wait.,Billy, who had squared away at his breakfast, spoke with his mouth full. "We're goin' to have 'em fer dinner," he informed his hostess.，Wilson looked relieved. "I can't make head er tail of it," he said, frowning. "I can't think that Hinter is behind the men in any deviltry."，"Am I asked?" demanded Patricia with eager eyes.，“What?” exploded the boy, anxiously."Oh, you have done well.
