"And does he treat you good, my fair friend?" asked Billy. "Oh, yes," answered Nanny, "as well as boys generally do, but he often makes me pull heavy loads and forgets to feed and water me sometimes." "Oh, the brute," said Billy, "to make anyone as handsome as you pull heavy loads. How I wish I could help you, for I am strong and used to pulling large loads.

The two men spoke, reached to shake each other's hands, and took a long survey that was mutual. As the two pairs of eyes met, a wall seemed to rear itself between them, a mist, a curtain, something intangible, but there.

Twice, when she had been playing to him, she turned to find him testing the suppleness of his injured arm.

"What do you know about Billy Robinson and his magic seed?" I demanded. "Just this. I bought a box from him for for something. He said he wasn't going to sell any of it to anybody else.
