Nope, Bill, Jacobs hain't never been seen, but I'm dead sure he's the boss of the outfit.","I wonder," she says to herself, softly, "whether he will be with me at the usual hour to-morrow, or,—a little earlier!"，Bob drew a long breath. “This is work really worth while doing,” he said, his eyes shining. “It must be great to know that each new dam you complete will make thousands of acres of land green and productive. I will be glad to help.”，"I've got to pack tonight, young lady," Bruce reminded her. "I'm not so fortunate as to be coming to Greycroft, you'll remember. It takes longer to get to Chicago than to Rockham."，“Yes, Mosey, I jist want to go to my mornin’-glory garding to tell it good-night.” She rubbed her sleepy tear-stained eyes."At once," he says, with emphasis.

SUPERSTITION,"You are tired," says he, tenderly.,"Perhaps you would rather rest for a while. Do you know this is the first time I have ever been inside the Towers?"

You know—the lad who is always roaming the woods.",The Snake Charmer was silenced; for if the children had before this been tired, not one of them now but swelled with pride and fortitude at this praise from Billy.,Just here the whistle of bob-white sounded from a little distance along the trail.,"That is Mona's voice," says Doatie.
