Once, a long time ago, the antelope and the deer happened to meet on the prairie. They spoke together, giving each other the news, each telling what he had seen and done. After they had talked for a time the antelope told the deer how fast he could run, and the deer said that he could run fast too, and before long each began to say that he could run faster than the other. So they agreed that they would have a race to decide which could run the faster, and on this race they bet their galls. When they started, the antelope ran ahead of the deer from the very start and won the race and so took the deer's gall.

No such evil thought could enter her head.".

"Well, come with me, and I'll stay till you turn me out.' "I don't know, sir. I never was abroad before, an' I'm dead bate now, an' the bag's like lead." "Now, once for all, Mona," interrupts he, with determination, "I strictly forbid you ever to go to Ryan's cottage again." "Yes, they do indeed, a great deal; at least I have heard so.".
