It only wants half an hour to the stand up time, and we have a mile to go. Car riage waiting, too.” “What shall I do ?

Wait a moment, dear.” A little stockingless foot first peeped out then rolled night dress, the lamp was lighted, a pair of scissors found and Joe released, mentally vowing that if he ever got the opportunity he would pay his friend Tom buck with interest for the joke he had played on him.
