"It's Anse's. We must have got 'em mixed when we was dressin'." Johnston had turned to his desk and secured a shorter, stronger pointer. The veins between his shaggy eyebrows stood out clearly defined as he motioned Billy up on the platform. "Why he's callin' us all the mean things he knows, I guess," laughed Billy.
