The audience made an impetuous dash to the scene of the fatality and as he stooped over the dripping yellow-frocked figure a jolt of even greater proportions upset the bucket entirely; a deluge of the unsavory mixture almost knocked off his knightly helmet and trickled from its rusty edges till he looked like a very rotund and rakish Don Quixote. Bouncer tied? That red handkerchief! The boy went cold and pale. Before he looked he knew that May Nell was not there.

“Said so, but they’re late. We’ve got an addition, the little earthquake girl.” This last was a sibilant aside. “La now! An’ why do you say that, my dear?” inquired Mrs. Wopp. “Set up straight, Moses, yer back looks like you was packin’ a sack of pertaters.” “Mamma, Pretty’s finishing the lawn for me; can’t I rub the floors right now? The Gang’s coming and we want to do a lot to-day.” Her questions brought long and wonderful tales of Billy’s younger life; of Edith when she, too, was a little girl.
