sand, Bob between the two boys, his
arm around Donald, and Della quite

None of them had seen me and |

story Bob was telling them before
anyone Of them realized my pres

"Oh. muver!" Donald who saw me
first, exclaimed, daddy is telling
me such a nice story. Can muver

"If muver wants to-" Bob an

face. But this is little boys story,
not a grown zip lady's."
But muvers like little boys

Yes, dear" | replied and sat
down near. them. please go on, don't

He finished the story, / heard no

his dear voice. When he had finished
Donald asked:
