Mrs. Bennett smiled. She thought they could have had no trouble in locating Billy. His mood grew more thoughtful. He put the dishes away quietly, and neither spoke again till the work was finished. Then he went and kissed her on the cheek. “It’s good to have you all to myself, little mother; to be just chums once more.” “Here, let me do that,” Harold commanded; “you go and do the rest of your work.
