Bill Withers and his brother Jack come along by, talking, and Jack says: "What do you reckon he was toting?" "I dunno; but it was pretty heavy." "Yes, all he could lug.
"I wonder what she'll say when she sees me?" chuckled their father. "Doesn't she know?" cried Bella. "Oh, Aunt Emma, Aunt Emma!" she called. "Aunt Emma!" shouted Tom, at the top of his voice.
