In his distress his wandering eye discovered a bunch of vine ties, short pieces of soft hemp rope for fastening vines to their supporting stakes. They were hanging against the rear of the coop, and a gust of wind had blown them into view.

As the program went on Moses finally caught the eye of his little sister. The joyful news was passed on and Nell looked up, but it was a disconcertingly cold look that returned her inquiring gaze at Howard. So frigid was his expression that she did not attempt to turn her head in that direction again. From time to time Betty turned to wave her hand thereby causing much merriment among those who watched her childish enjoyment. ‘Fix me the apple on his head’.” “For three days an’ three nights there was no sleep fer his eyes nor slumber fer his eyelets.” Warwick Bro’s & Rutter, Limited, Printers and Bookbinders, Toronto, Canada..
