"See what the pride of this wretched little creature has brought us to!" said they. "Why couldn't she ask for wearing apparel as we did? but no, she must needs show herself off as a superior person. It is she who will be the cause of our father's death, and she does not even cry!",This would delay for a time the necessity of taking action in regard to Jerry, and Bob was grateful for the leeway it gave him. Anything and everything might happen in the spare time he was given. Perhaps all the trouble would blow over. He certainly hoped so.,"How can I go," he says, without daring to look at her, "until, at least, I ask for forgiveness?"

In truth she felt a little grieved for him.

"Hasn't he always minded his own business and been a law-abidin', quiet livin man?",“Here are the apples, Aunt Grenertsen. Aren’t they beauties?”,"There was a little cedar bird's nest in a tall pine," he explained.
