MISS MINERVA and
WILLIAM GREEN HILL





CHAPTER I

A SCANDALIZED VIRGIN

street-light. Perched on the box by the big, black negro driver
sat a little boy whose slender figure was swathed in a huge rain
coat.

Miss Minerva was on the porch waiting to receive him.

"Mercy on me, child," she said, "what on earth made you ride up
there? Why didn't you get inside?"
