His great size and muscular strength and deep bass voice were those of a man, while the smooth skin, the soft curling hair, and the rollicking gladsome look were all indicative of the boy. His countenance, too, might have perplexed a fortune-teller.
But there's Betsey calling me; I mustn't stop here talking." Mrs. Blumenthal amused her companions by a repetition of his remarks concerning the Deacon.
