14/17 Since poor Billy's parents adopted me and made me a cousin of Constance, I can trot up her stone steps any minute; and she treats me as if I'd had my first bottle in a pink-silk boudoir. I'll make it my business to run up there twice a day and boost for you." "Don't be too strong!" Johnny hastily warned her. "Boost half of the time if you want to, but be sure and knock the other half." "I guess it would be better," soberly agreed Polly--"even with Constance. Pick out your corner and drive a claim stake." Polly obligingly drove slowly around three sides of the huge new terminal. |
