They both broke into negation at once as they reached their own front door.,Possessed with this thought,—which drowns all others,—he clasps his hands behind his back and saunters to the window. "Shall he go and meet Mona and learn the truth at once? Better not, perhaps; she is such a clever child that it is as well to let her achieve victory without succor of any sort.",“Yes; and we’ll have to train the dogs,— Whoopee! Only four weeks of school.

But when he had gone into the hall she called, “Johnny Blossom!”,"Return to my house and see Etwald!","Dad says not," the other boy replied.,"I was hateful to you just now, and most unjust.",Greyquill, who saw little to fear in the pursuit of a man with a wooden leg, turned his head upon his shoulder and cried back: "There are too many of us.","He is not my enemy. My dear boy, spare me a three-act drama. What has the man done, beyond wearing a few gaudy rings, and some oppressive neckties, that you should hate him as you do? It is unreasonable.
