"I hadn't thought o' that," he said slowly. "It's pine, too, ain't it? It 'ud carve fine.","I'll be bound for you, Elinor Kendall, to find the sweetness in every sour apple. Not that your Doris Leighton is sour on the outside. She's much too sweet for my taste.

When they had finished the task they went across to the weedy plot in which stood the tumble-down hut.

The hoot of the owl sounded faintly from the forest beyond; the yap of a foraging fox drifted through the night's stillness from the uplands.,That night Jerry came in late to the room that he still shared with Bob.,because your part of it takes care to make itself heard.",Judith's face assumed a smooth blankness that passed unnoticed by both Elinor and Patricia, now intent on finishing their breakfast and getting off.,"I hardly think our dance is ended yet, Mrs. Rodney," says the Australian, defiantly, coming leisurely forward, his eyes bent somewhat insolently upon Geoffrey.,Maurice squirmed uncomfortably.
