Gibbons made effort to catch her little daughter, but this time the child wriggled down from the foot of the bed and came toward me, hands behind her back, and stared up into my face. "Whatcha name?" I told her and asked hers, and without further preliminaries she came close to me and hunched her shoulders to be taken in my lap. "We've got to go we're bound to go, Miss Dandridge!"

Here was the place where academic information would be useful and the chance for an "in." Jimmy shoved himself into the small group and said, "Get a longer handle." They turned on him suspiciously. "Whatcha know about it?" demanded one, shoving his chin out. "Get a longer handle," repeated Jimmy. "Go ahead, get one." "G'wan " "Wait, Moe. Maybe " "Who's he?" "I'm Jimmy." "Jimmy who?"

"W'at's eatin' you? Is they an answer?" "They ain't no answer," P. Sybarite admitted. "Well, whatcha want? I got no time to stick round here kiddin'." "One moment of your valuable time.

"Una Golden." "Miss uh Miss?"

Duvall had almost begun to despair of getting one, when he heard the clicking of the electric latch, and found that he could turn the knob and enter the hallway.

She was still holding it in the palm of her hand when the kitchen door again slammed and the handy man limped into the room. He carried two pails of milk across the kitchen and set them down near the sink. "Whatcha lookin' at, Miz Thompson?" Barney Hatfield asked. Hetty frowned at the egg in her hand without answering.
