"We have none yet at the Towers.","Say, you," called Tom, "if this is such an all-fired good spot it's a wonder you didn't take it yourself; you had lots of time to beat us to it, didn't you?",“I don’t think so. There are a lot of other things I’d rather do if I had the chance. Forestry’s one of ’em,” he finished with a smile at the ranch foreman.,"I won't," promised Anson. "Cross my heart, Bill."，Acting on this timely suggestion, Mrs. Wopp deposited the mischievous youths on small chairs, one on each side of her table, directly under her watchful eye. Cracking nuts seemed to have been the special proposed form of amusement for the afternoon. By the end of five minutes the substitute teacher had set several large noisy paper bags on the window ledge.，"Could you distinguish her if she's in the Harbour at this distance?"，Eagle was on board to see to the arrival of cargo which came into Old Harbour very leisurely in waggon-loads at a time.

“Soldiers!” Bob gasped as the outlines of the men grew clear against the star-lit sky as they topped a near-by ridge. “Cavalry!”,His first surprise over, Jerry saw that Bob was right. If they didn’t go through the tunnel they would probably never go anywhere. It would be more than their strength could accomplish to force the boat back through the rapids they had encountered.

That is, after I’d attended to something—”,"Why, Ma," he cried, in amazement, "you don't mean to say he's gone?","An' if we do," asked Billy eagerly, "will you agree to use your power to help us find the money an' will?","I shall turn off at the bridge," she answered.
