Please go on.","Why should she want to be horrid to Elinor?" persisted Patricia, frowning a little in her earnestness. "We don't know her very well yet, but she's been perfectly sweet to us both.",CHAPTER IX THE ACADEMY BALL,“You never give my cats a chance,” Billy complained.,“No, no! Don’t, mother! I’ll run away! I’ll—” He groaned and left his sentence unfinished.，"No, major," replied Arkel, rather gruffly, for disappointment was beginning to tell on his temper, "nor are we likely to find any until that servant of yours regains his senses. How is he now?"，But because no one was around now, it did not mean that no one would be. Probably the best plan would be to go and go quickly before either Wesley or Harper decided to come down and bring their captive food and water.，"Egad, you are right. Then you think that someone must have been concealed in the room, and sprung out from hiding to drug Jaggard."She opens the door, and runs almost into Mona's arms, who is evidently searching for her everywhere.

Bob looked up to see a young fellow of about his own age coming towards them. He was rather tall and dark and dressed in khaki, and wore canvas leggins. It was the costume of a regular civil engineer, thought the boy from the East.,At this moment the conversation was interrupted by the bustling entrance of Admiral Sir William Lawrence, when of course the conversation was immediately changed from the subject of his son and sick-bays to other matters.,"I never give myself unnecessary trouble," he answered, calmly, "and, of course, I knew that I should find you here.","We will proceed on the questions and answers system," said Arkel, precisely, "and thrash out the matter in that way. You were in the library on that night?",“O Billy, think how many gophers Flash catches, and what gentlemen they are in the house,” Edith defended.

Anse, you remember, was sort of helper with them drillers till he got askin' too many questions an' they fired him. Well, all he asked 'em, I put him up to ask. Anse was always a mighty good listener an' he often heard these two, Jack and Tom, speak of Jacobs an' call him boss.
