Patiently she toiled with brittle sticks and pointed stones till the vine was replanted against the rude walls; emptied the dinner pail and trudged back and forth to the river several times for water, to wet the earth above the roots; and patted it down with muddy little hands.，CHAPTER XVII BILLY TO-DAY，“Aint that wonderful Miss Gordon?
