“You young Hottentots, wot youse been up to?” All too soon Moses’ prophecy proved true. “Ebenezer Wopp, no wonder you talk sich ridicilsome nonsense in yer sleep, eatin’ cheese at night.

Howard Eliot and Nell Gordon sat therein. “Before vacation? Why, they’ll be just the things to do in vacation.” “In that case, Clarence must take you to the Sunday-school hall to-morrow afternoon to hear a talk on China.
