"Have you any idea as to the guilty person?" he asked, in a hurried tone.,She picked up the saucer and stood looking down at the gold piece which Croaker had brought in. "I don't s'pose there's a particle of use keepin' an eye on that crow?" she asked.,"Why? What can he have to say to my mother?" cried Isabella, in surprise.,“Yes, thank you. But most my heart is hungry. Will you help me to find my mama?”,“Gee whiz, no!” the other cried. “I reckon Dad would set the dogs on the Chief Engineer from the dam. He hates him worse than poison.”，The moment he arrived, the whole household was called on to admire it—Father, Mother, three sisters, and the maids—but no one must touch it or even go very near it but himself. Dagny put one little wet finger out toward it, but at this Johnny Blossom became red with fury.，Billy laughed. "All right, I'll come along, but I ain't believin' anythin' I kin say to your Ma'll keep you from gettin' it."，"Leighton Hall," repeats she, slowly, fixing upon him her dark eyes that are always so full of truth and honesty.

Owing to these conditions it was not until after nightfall that they saw the first sign of civilization. Bob was in the lead and was the first to see a reflection on the horizon.,When he demanded it the boys showed him the island in the low grounds on which they had grown the test crop of corn.,The umbrella and the boat were soon procured and the boys started out. First they rowed in very proper fashion past the Tongue—a rather high point of land; but when they were well hidden by this point, they pulled in the oars and put up the umbrella in a flash.,“No, just now there isn’t any job at all—”,Miss Gordon complied, then followed the old favorite with a two-step played in as sprightly a manner as the organ would allow.,The Admiral might have been observed to be calculating by the movement of his lips.
