And if the girls don’t love me now “She’s at Vine Hill—miles away; we’ll beat her if we hurry.” His words were a bit breathless. “Hurry Betty and set opposite me so’s we kin play together,” said Moses, unwittingly giving Cupid his innings. “It’s time Billy was at home,” he heard his mother say as he opened her room door; and he stumbled on more hurriedly, across the bridge—at last, the Fo’castle!.
