“I must be very careful, then, not to change it,” responded Nell, as she took the seat assigned to her. As that long-suffering Mrs. Wopp wiped up the last traces of the chase she observed, “Moses’ footprints is twict as big as Betty’s, but hern is twict as many. They’ll shore git inter jist as much mischief, but Praise be! They’re both toein’ in the right d’rection.” He found Evelyn on her knees before a hot fire, bravely trying to hold level one of the several pots that were sizzling there.

Billy had “the creeps” for a minute, and cowered closer; but no one saw him. Now was the time! He would never have such a chance again..
