Appearance

Little Willie came home in a sad state. He had a

black eye and numerous scratches and contusions, and his

clothes were a sight. His mother was horrified at the

spectacle presented by her darling. There were tears in her

eyes as she addressed him rebukingly: “Oh, Willie, Willie!

How often have I told you not to play with that naughty Peck

boy!” Little Willie regarded his mother with an expression

of deepest disgust. “Say, ma,” he objected, “do I look

as if I had been playing with anybody?”
