quick , i need to find a passing urchin and have him buy us a goose too ! that did n't happen , but from overhead came another of those thumps . she did not want their child to go through what she went through with her own father . when she released him , she wiped away her tears and shook her head . but the pile did n't grow lighter . he noticed and pulled me a little closer against his side as he continued . he still had a faint grin on his face .
