Her hair is a little loose, but eminently becoming, and altogether she looks as like an exquisite painting as one can conceive.,“Well, Merry Christmas, Jeremias!”，“I wish we were too,” agreed Bob, warming up to Jerry’s unexpected long speech. “Isn’t there anything exciting we can do while waiting for Mr. Whitney?”，"No, dat only drib away bad debbils. But you scratch de skin with one leetle bit of it, and you die, die, die!"，Pennsylvania Scroggie had been one of the first to offer his congratulations. "Young man," he said to Stanhope, "I'm some rough on the outside but I reckon I'm all right inside. You've got your sight back and you've got, in this fine piece of land my old uncle left you, what promises to be a real oil field.

Thank you.”,"How you were all laughing when we came in!" says Violet, presently: "we could hear you all along the corridor.
