He put the dishes away quietly, and neither spoke again till the work was finished. Then he went and kissed her on the cheek. “It’s good to have you all to myself, little mother; to be just chums once more.”,"How many hours there are in the night that we never count!" says Geoffrey, impatiently. "Good-night, Mona! To-morrow's dawn I shall call my dearest friend."，Billy stood up, a grin on his face. "That pine bench looked so invitin' I jest couldn't help tryin' my new knife on it," he explained.

"I'd be wishin' the young t'acher to be ginerous, byes."，"I guess maybe it's your fancy playin' pranks on you, Mary," he suggested hesitatingly. "Two years of livin' in this lonesome spot has kinder got on your nerves.""Jacobs," he said, crisply, "I'll give you twenty-four hours in which to lose yourself. You can't stay here."

Maurice waited hopefully until his mother and Mrs. Wilson came out again. Then he turned eagerly towards them.,"That I know well," spoke the father eagerly. "Ever since my clutch on life has been weakenin' I've worried at the thought that perhaps I may leave her unprovided for. You have lifted the load, my friend.

And now, my dear young lady," added Jen, rising, "I must leave you, to keep my appointment with the scoundrel. Do not speak of our conversation to anyone!","They put it into a cart and took it away.",Tellef’s mother was very much out of patience, but she wrung the water from Johnny’s blouse and hung the blouse by the fire.,"She has nothing to do with the matter," replied Jen, surprised at the agitation of the young man.

Are we not more attractive than she is?","Say, fellers, let me stay with you an' we'll split three ways, eh?" suggested Anson.,He took his way slowly down, hiding behind trees, looking out and then sneaking forward again, until he reached the open beach. The picnic party was still feasting merrily, making speeches and drinking one another’s health. Johnny stole along, dodging from rock to rock. Suddenly one of the ladies called out: “Mercy! there he is!” Then they all clapped their hands and shouted to him and clapped their hands again.,Billy had to stifle his emotion and swallow twice before he answered: "That's what I'd like you to call me.
