If you'd seen her, like I have, goin' from one poor little sick child to another, kissing their little hot faces, tellin' 'em stories, payin' for doctor's stuff out of her bit o' savings, mendin' their clo'es an' prayin' over 'em when they died why I guess you'd think she was a angel too! One sure thing," said Mrs.
Moore likes to joke the same as you do, Mr. Dexter," said Janice, quietly. "Ahem! You sartainly have got some of us goin'," said the driver, whimsically. "Look at Jase Day!
