Well—and—your brother?" He cannot to himself explain the interest he feels in this story.Now, Mickey's idea of "raal grand" scenery is the kitchen fire.

He would consider the bluest water that ever rolled a poor thing if compared to the water that boiled in the big kettle, and sadly inferior to such cold water as might contain a "dhrop of the crather."

David shuddered, and picking up the devil-stick spoke sharply and to the point.,“It might have been to-day’s roast,” Edith protested, as she took the snarling Geewhillikins from his feast. “You see why Billy’s cats don’t come in the house, May Nell.”,"Besides, I wanted to see Miss Jinny," said Judith, affectionately twining her arms about Miss Jinny's waist.
