"Is it a barbecue?" asked Laddie.
"No, the extra one is for the baby," said Leon. "Squally little runt, I call it."
"It's a nice baby!" said Laddie.
"What do you know about it?" demanded Leon.
"Well, considering that I started with you, and have brought up two others since, I am schooled in all there is to know," said Laddie.
"Guess what else!" I cried.
"More?" said Laddie. "Out with it! Don't kill me with suspense."
"Father is going to town Saturday to meet the new teacher and she will stay at our house as usual."
Leon yelled and fell back in a manger, while Laddie held harness oil to his nose.
"More!" cried Leon, grabbing the bottle.
