We are disputing it, of course, and are looking high and low for the missing will that should have been sought for at the first. But it's very shaky the whole affair.",“Surely; but—”,"You insult me," says Dorothy, growing even whiter than she was before, "when you speak to me of—of——",The announcement of the prize was received with such lively interest that it routed all other subjects, and even Patricia caught the enthusiasm.，“It is what they call me,” replied Johnny, rather soberly.，"Oh, do talk English, Griffie dear," begged Patricia, laughing.
