He fitted on the head, and then he covered her up with the sheet; but, in pulling this over her head, he uncovered her feet, which he now perceived to be slipperless. "No shoes! Ah me!

She wondered what on earth Jerry could be saying that made him laugh so heartily; they were acting as though they had known one another all their lives.
