All in Heaven belongs to you! Choose and take what you wish! You take your own." * * * * * "Really?" asks Bontsie once more, but in a firmer voice. "Really, really, really!" they answer him on all sides. "Well, if so," Bontsie smiles, "I should like to have every morning a hot roll with fresh butter!" Judges and angels drooped their heads abashed. The Prosecuting Attorney laughed out loud. I.
