She lets 'em handle things so!" Mrs. Endey went into the "front room" and began to dust the organ. She was something of a diplomat, and she wished to be alone for a few minutes.

"It is brought to us from the icebergs that float in the northern parts of the ocean," explained Merla. "O' course, Trot. You orter thought o' that. I did," said Cap'n Bill. The little girl was glad there was no more to eat, for she was ashamed to feel she had eaten every morsel she could.
