“Now, you’re just wrong there, Miss Maggie!” said Tom, secretly astonished. “You think you’re very wise! But ‘bonus’ means ‘good,’ as it happens — bonus, bona, bonum.”
“Well, that’s no reason why it shouldn’t mean ‘gift,’” Men Shirts said Maggie, stoutly. “It may mean several things; almost every word does. There’s ‘lawn,’— it means the grass-plot, as well as the stuff pocket- handkerchiefs are Converse American Flag made of.”

“Why, you couldn’t read one of ’em,” said Tom, triumphantly. “They’re all Latin.”
