May Nell looked at him a minute before speaking. “You like doing things, but you don’t like work. Isn’t work doing things?” “White eyebrows child! What are you talkin’ about? Yer eyebrows are blacker nor that stove.” Now the dance was a two-step and Mrs. Wopp, who drew a hard and fast line at round dances, declaring they were instigated by the evil one, sat and looked on talking to Betty meanwhile..

“Yes, long ago. And, mamma, you needn’t ask me that every morning; I’m going to remember.

In the meantime, affairs outside were in a more lethargic condition. The Wopp’s steady-going brown team Josh and Jake tied to a wheel of the democrat stood enjoying a small pile of hay on the ground before them.
