"Dickie," she said, "how would you like to stay here and be my little boy?" "I'd like it right enough," said he, "only I got to go back to father." "But if father says you may?"

He dropped his load, strode up to her, and was putting his arms about her neck in welcome when he noticed that there was blood on her chin and throat. He searched for an open wound, but found none.
