Even in the old days when she had stolen into the cathedral to look for nickels under the seats, she had been acutely aware of "the pretties." But she had never attended a service, or seen the tapers lighted, and the vast, cool building, with its flickering lights and disturbing music, impressed her profoundly.

"Bless your pretty hearts, you'll come and say a word to old Mother Bantem, won't you?" "What's everybody tying about?" says the little girl in her prattling way. "I don't like people to ty.
Only common things should go to a steam laundry. That is their punishment for being common. But the pretties! the dainties! the flimsies! la la, my dear, their washing is an art.

"There you are, boys," cried Jimmy cheerily, "listen to what the pretties say about you. You'll be into 'em in a minute; and don't forget what I've told you about the way to use your gun. Kill fast and kill clean.
Musq'oosis sighed and went on. "The Fish-Eaters was camp down the lake by Musquasepi then. Your mot'er was there. She ver' pretty girl. Mos' pretties' girl in the tribe, I guess."
