Jerry's just say: "Attorney at Law." No letter ever came that had Paget in the corner, or anything happened that did Shelley any good.

Far otherwise! Just before supper Leon came from Groveville one evening, and all of us could see at a glance that he had been crying like a baby.

He had wiped up, and was trying to hold in, but he was killed, next.

I nearly said, "Well, for heaven's sake, another!" when I saw him.

He slammed down a big, long envelope, having printing on it, before father, and glared at it as if he wanted to tear it to smithereens, and he said: "If you want to know why it looks like that, I buried it under a stone once; but I had to go back, and then I threw it as far as I could send it, into Ditton's gully, but after a while I hunted it up again!" Then he keeled over on the couch mother keeps for her in the dining-room, and sobbed until he looked like he'd come apart.
Of course all of us knew exactly what that letter was from the way he acted.
