Under Her Bed
Reading edition
Mrs. Hicks was telling some ladies about the burglar scare in her house the night before.
“Yes,” she said, “I heard a noise and got up, and there from under the bed I saw a man’s legs sticking out.”
“Mercy,” exclaimed a woman—“the burglar’s legs?”
“No, my dear, my husband’s legs. He had heard the noise, too.”
