Nolly, explain yourself," says his sister, severely.,The door clicked behind them and they set their faces to the sunset, and Greycroft, and home.,Elinor smiled and pulled Patricia down beside her on the stool.,“Awfully busy. Tonight we are going out fishing.”,"Oh yes, sir."，CHAPTER III.—A DAY AT SCHOOL.，Patricia flung herself on her sister, overwhelming her in a flurry of pink kimono and white arms. "Tell me!" she cried. "Tell me this minute, you aggravating thing! You're getting to be a regular miser of your news—you won't give up till it's dragged out of you. Speak, or I'll have your life!"，“Oh no, Aunt Grenertsen. Six of them are not bruised at all, and these two only the least bit.”"It doesn't matter. Come upstairs with me, Mona. I want to tell you all about it," says Doatie. The reaction has set in, and she is again tearful, and reduced almost to despair.

"Comedy!" echoed Mrs. Dallas, in scorn. "You mean tragedy!",Mr Eagle, breaking into a run, sent aloft at the peak of the barque the meteor flag of Old England.,"You kin?" Jim exclaimed.

But they all like it, Mr. Lindley and the Halls and Mr. Spicer, too. Dear old Norn, how proud I am of you!","You will give me an explanation at once," says Geoffrey, slowly, addressing his cousin. "What brought you here?",Duns and their bills,,Diving under her stand, she fished out the bundle and opened it with trembling fingers.,Some thought whilst eating with his father had occurred to him, and he felt in his pocket for the copy of the letter which he had drawn out with his pocket-handkerchief and which Mr Greyquill had got possession of. The handkerchief was there, but the letter was not. When he had drawn out his handkerchief and felt and found the lining of his pocket bare, when, in short, he completely understood that the letter was not where it ought to be and where he knew it should be, he turned as pale as the muslin curtain that partly veiled his[Pg 151] window, started with an abrupt swagger of motion as though he had been struck violently behind, then with the energy of madness felt in all his pockets, pulling out everything, meanwhile gazing around the room with eyes which seemed on fire with their vigour of scrutiny and passion of fear.,I hurried all I could, but for long minutes I stood in front of my mirror and questioned myself.
