You knowq- Butch grunted at this, but said nothing. WThey're hav- ing some kind of prom or something at school, is your brother going?' UToo much of a sissy to ask anyone, I guess.W UI guess my sister's too much of a sissy to get asked. She's been moenin' about it for days, Heyln The two little boys look at each other with mischief in their eyes and began to scheme.
