But when, on his way home, he came to the branching of the road his good resolution weakened. He looked back. The sun was surely more than an hour high.

She was followed by Ebenezer Wopp whose coat seemed to cover some abnormal growth as though a watermelon might be lodged there.

What kept you so late, young lady?” As Mr. Crump spoke he viewed the young girl with justifiable pride.,The dutiful husband drew from his pocket a long slip of paper and a small stubby pencil.
