It was built of steel and an iron ladder had been provided to make the oiling of the pulley wheel at the top a simple task.,Mrs. Wopp obligingly gave as an encore, “There were ninety and nine,” apropos of nothing whatever. Then turning to a portrait on the wall, she enlarged on the musical ability of a great-uncle from whom she reckoned she had received her gift of song.,"Leighton Hall," repeats she, slowly, fixing upon him her dark eyes that are always so full of truth and honesty.
