And you didn’t expect to open dressmaking parlors.”,Jean was for following in spite of Billy’s commands; but Mrs. Bennett, full of apprehension, insisted that the girl should go with her; and the two set out in search of help.,“When Moses is growed up, Mar, I think it ’ud be jist lovely fer him to be in the Mounted P’lice. He’s so clever at findin’ things an’ he’d look jist grand in the clothes,” enthused Betty.，“Tremendous long visit,” Billy taunted; “what’d you come for? Another donation for my new sister?”，A chill as from an ice field swept over Billy. His heart seemed to fall down, down, as far as his shoes. He noticed that things looked darker, and his head felt light and queer. Another fear assailed him; would he, too, collapse, leave the little girls alone with the terror of two senseless boys?，“S’tup,” he commanded. Jethro immediately sat up on his hind legs.Rain dropped her gray mantle behind a tree, and reappeared with her chalice of diamond-dust dew, to touch the fairy chorus to shimmering beauty. The gnomes, their queer masks and hunched shoulders showing grotesquely under their gray garb, joined the fairies’ dance. Wind came floating in as Summer Breeze.

Didn’t your son save them both?

He thought his mother’s face looked tired; but the smile there welcomed him warmly, and he forgot the tired look with her first words.,“She can’t, you know; she and sister have to work hard to make what we spend now.
