I thought that sort kind of noble, but you said there was nobler. Do you remember?”.

“What’s Jeth perched up there fer, Par?” demanded the boy. “Salute your partner, swing—your partner.” Mrs. Wopp who had expected “Swing on the corner,” had seized the unfortunate Mr. Wopp and in spite of his struggles was spinning him violently around, while their respective partners stood and looked helplessly on. “No, we won’t!” came a dozen voices. “Hello, Billy! You washin’ floors?” There was a sneer in Jimmy’s voice..
