Billy looked at his aunt's austere countenance and lovingly fingered his charm; he opened his mouth to say something, but hesitated; slowly he untied the string around his neck and laid his treasure on her lap; then without looking up, he ran into his own little room, closing the door behind him.

Excerpt from Mavis of Green Hill There was more truth than enunciation in Sarah's neglect of that final t in patients. Our village doctor is long on wisdom, but short of temper. I reached out for the morning paper, lying on my bedside table, and rustled it in dismissal. How interesting! I murmured, successfully conceal ing any concern at all. Sarah swooped down upon my tray and bore it to the door, in a manner which carried conviction. But we can deceive each other so little, Sarah and I. Come last night, she volunteered, from New York. And every girl in Green Hill is furbishing up her Sunday clothes, so Sammy said.
