went at it right."

soon, so we are sure to have a happy meeting before long. I think that is
Mr. Bruce's car coming. Goodbye! Be good to yourself!"
With a spring from where he was standing Mickey arose in air, alighted on
the top rail of the division fence, then balancing, he raced down it
toward the road. Peter watched him in astonishment, then went back to his
plowing with many new things on his mind. Thus it happened that after
supper, when the children were in bed, and he and his wife went to the
front veranda for their usual evening visit, and talk over the day, she
had very little to tell him.
As was her custom, she removed her apron, brushed her waving hair and wore
a fresh dress.
