Excerpt: ""O-O-OH! oh me-e!" Dick made the sigh very sad and pitiful His father did not seem to hear it.

"I think you might let me off," he persisted in an undertone; "just this one more time. If mother had patched my trousers last night-if she'd let me put on my Sundays now-I could get that hateful old garden worked this morning. I've got something else to do to-day, something awfully important.""
