His chances of success worried Bob all morning and once or twice Mr. Whitney had to call him down for some inattention to the business at hand.

That was a help.,“I guess I’ve been a bear lately, Bob,” he said laughing. “But I’m up against an awfully queer proposition and I don’t yet see just how to tackle it.”,Ringold nodded approval. "All right, Neighbor Watland. Anybody else got anythin' to say?",Patricia, protesting, dragged herself from the restful nest, but by the time they had begun to arrange the gay little bags of candy in the big red Japanese lantern, she was as enthusiastic as Elinor could wish.,Spreads like an ocean hung on high."，Patricia shook her head decisively.，"Don't enter the cabin for half an hour. Then go in and clear up. And if she speaks, make no answer, and take no notice of her, but clean up the mess."，"Now come and see my own room," says Mona, going up to Rodney, and, slipping her hand into his in a little trustful fashion that is one of her many, loving ways, she leads him along the hall to a door opposite the kitchen.

So holding him, she might at this moment have drawn him to the world's end,—wherever that may be!"You bet," Maurice managed to answer.

“Jiminy whiz! This is my very last week of boy; next week I’ll have to be a man,” he said gloomily.,He had written from London, and it was many pages of wonderful things all flavoured with me. He told me about Miss Clinton and what good friends they were, and how much he hoped she would be in Hillsboro when he got here. He said that a great many of her dainty ways reminded him of his "own slip of a girl," especially the turn of her head like a "flower on its stem."
