It may be incidentally remarked
that Bob was % years of age, and,
with his brothers, was always la

Sally, and neglected them and her

answered Sally, firmly, in reply to
Bob's hint. '.If ye got sucked in you'd

When Bob had finished the milking
on Sunday morning and arranged for
an evening substitute he grew into
fever of unrest. "Sally," he called,

mingled indignation and shame.

Sally. "Hev you had your tea?"
