Mrs. Wilson remained thoughtful. Billy, watching her with furtive speculation, hoped from the relaxing lines in her brow that all was well with the world once more. Hope became an assurance with her next words. The man swore and said something to his companion. "Hey, hold up! Want to sell part of them ducks?" he asked.
