Lor'! I'm jest 'shamed of you, that's what I be!"

I think I know the place you mention, youngster," said he, with a significant twinkle in his eye which made the other two chaplains grin, I could see, at some joke they had between them.
Hardway how it had all come about from Zip getting in their candy and their trying to wash it off his coat. As Zip was still in a ball and could not extricate himself, the same boy who had carried him to the bathroom before, put the apron around him again and took him back upstairs. This time they got him in the tub safely and began to turn the water in.
