"That is wrong, you know. I think that it would be dearly bought, if we lost charity by getting it," said the girl, earnestly.
Verty looked thoughtful, and leaning his head on his hand, said:
"I don't know but I prefer the mountains, then. Redbud, I think if I saw a great deal of you, you would make me good—"
"Oh! I'm afraid—"
"I'd read my Bible, and think about God," Verty said.
"Don't you now, Verty?"
"Yes; I read."
"But don't you think?"
Verty shook his head.
