“But why, mother? Why did he not say it?”
“Maybe he did’na ken it.”
“Did’na ken what?”
“The Psalm.”
“Did’na ken the fifteenth Psalm, and him a man grown!” Hughie had never seen anyone before who couldn’t say the fifteenth Psalm.
“Aw, mother!” he exclaimed remonstratingly. “Even Davie knows that!”
Wully chuckled. He knew the world. He had seen cities. He had marched across states. He had eaten ice cream.
