Jen was the first to speak, and he did so in rather a stiff way, quite different from his usual jovial style of conversation.,"Cause I'm goin' down an' find him. I'll beg you off this time, Anse, if you'll do as I say."，"Mona! what are you going to say to me?"，As Mona comes still nearer, the words of the speaker reach her, and sink into her brain.

"She'll say she's too green, I suppose.",“The p’licemen do hev a fine look,” agreed Mrs. Wopp. “Fine feathers causes fine birds. Sometimes when the feathers is taken orff there aint nothin’ much left. That Plymouth Rock hen I plucked yesterday looked good walkin’ round the yard, but, Lan’ Sakes! when I’d plucked her she was nothin’ but skin an’ bones.” The good lady had no desire to underrate that useful body of men, the guardians of the law, but she considered it wise to exercise a constantly restraining influence on the vanities of youth.,“Now we are saved,” said Tellef.,Lars poked Johnny in the side. “Just listen to that, boy!”,"The what, sir?" asked Jaggard, doubtfully.,"I haven't had a sample of the food yet," he said, gravely, "but if it comes up to the equipment, I'll be perfectly satisfied.","Why did she not come in?" asked Jen, coldly, for he did not feel very amiably disposed toward the widow.,"Well, we'll see about that. No neighbor in this here settlement is ever goin' to say that Mary Wilson ever turned her back on a feller-bein's distress. I'll go right over to your place with you now, Maurice.
