"Do tell your story, Miss!" and Heavy yawned monstrously. "How dare you yawn before 'taps'?" cried Belle. "I'll douse the water-pitcher over you, Jennie." At this threat the fat girl sat up promptly and again urged Lluella to continue her tale.
‘I don’t wish to say you are,’ said Belle; ‘but some of your words sound strangely like scoffing and mocking.
