Croaker was surprised, indignant, hurt. He reached down and struck one of the shiniest of the bottles with his beak but even the happy tinkle that ensued failed to rouse enthusiasm in his master.,"What is the initiation itself?" asked Elinor, as the girl turned away.,“Just see this beautiful color I have made, Mother,” exclaimed John, exhibiting a muddy yellow mixture as the result of his efforts. Mother did not seem much impressed with the new yellow color.,Meantime Jerusalem Crickets, escaped from Billy’s arm and eye, was sneaking about for prey; and a clinking sound from the pantry warned them that she had found it.，Elinor was more cordial to Miss Green's solemn and indignant protest against the powers that be.

Certainly he did not recognise the sweet and sympathetic Lucy Acton in these questions.，He had not been long in this situation, when a confused sound of voices from a distance roused his attention.
