Even if he is trapped I believe he will manage to get out." "It's to be hoped so, for the want o' him is something awful." A knock came to the back door and a boy's voice said, "Is Peter in ?" It was a message boy who knew all Peter's tricks--knew that however friendly Peter was with a message boy on the road, he felt constrained to jump out at him when he appeared at the back door with a basket. The innocent question was too much for Mrs.M'Cosh. |
