BOB MAKES TROUBLE
"Bob! Bob!" called a woman in loud tones, as she came to the
kitchen door, her arms, with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows,
covered with flour. "Bob, I want you to go to the store for me. I
need some more lard for this pie-crust."
There was no answer, and the woman looked across the big yard at
one side of the cottage.
"Where can that boy be?" Mrs. Henderson murmured. "I saw him here
a little while ago. He's never around when I want him. I
shouldn't be surprised but what he was planning some joke. Oh,
dear! I wish he was more steady, and wasn't always up to some
mischief. Still, he's a good boy at heart, and perhaps he'll grow
better when he gets older."
She rubbed her left cheek with the back of her hand, leaving a big
patch of flour under one eye. Then she called once more.
"Bob! Bob Henderson! Where are you? I want you to go to the
store.
