“Why, what have you done to your face, John? You have a big scratch there.” “You are all I’ve got, son,” was the quiet reply. “I must let you do the best you can for yourself.” These sorrowful reflections caused her many tears; the Frog, who truly loved her, seeing her cry like this, said to her one day: "If you would like me to do so, madam, I will go and find the King, your husband; the journey is long, and I travel but slowly; but, sooner or later, I shall hope to arrive." This proposal could not have been more warmly received than it was; the Queen clasped her hands, and made Moufette clasp hers too, in sign of the gratitude she felt towards Madam Frog, for offering to undertake the journey.

"Madam," replied the Frog, "we must leave that to Heaven; we can only do that which depends on ourselves.".

“Happened to be over there the other night and used my eyes,” was the usual reply of the boy. “Hold it still, why don’t you?” shouted John. Asta struggled and strove, but without success. “Don’t bother about the oars,” said Bob, his voice echoing from the walls of the passage. “It’s too dark for ’em. Try to get a hold on the roof.” Oft from the airy steep of some lone hill,.
