 She might have told Douglas more of her forlorn little friend, but just then Mandy came to the bed hugging large, old fashioned Bible, and Doug las helped to place the ponderous book before the invalid.

 "Well, I ain't much on readin'-out loud" she faltered. growing suddenly conscious of her deficiencies. Read 1t for me, will you:"
