"What?" say Mona and Dorothy, in one breath.,This story tells how these two lodges came to be made.,Hardly were the words out of his mouth before the boat and its occupants were plunged into the gloom of the cavern.,"Not so much so that I cannot help you to cross over in safety, if you will only trust yourself to me," replies he.,Patricia curled up cozily while Miss Jinny read the two Sunday chapters in a full, melodious voice, beginning with the ineffable words, "In my Father's house are many mansions."，"Have they anything to do with the death of Maurice?"，"She was very nice to me," says Mona, "and is, I think, a very pleasant old lady. She asked me to go and see her next Thursday."，“You are to come forward,” said the Admiral. It was so still that the rustle of papers in the Admiral’s shaking hand could be heard throughout the immense room. Johnny Blossom squeezed himself through the throng.“You bet I am,” was the enthusiastic answer.

Sir William again asked Captain Acton if he had heard the news.,"Oh!" rejoined Etwald, quietly, "Mr. Alymer told me so to-night.",“Here, you men, down stream a bit with that timber. Rutherford, you’ve the right idea—stick to it.

Their scheme, whatever it was that should be adopted, they, therefore, resolved to execute on the following night. But when they descended from the first warmth of enterprize, to minuter examination, they soon found the difficulties of the undertaking.

To obtain them by stratagem seemed impossible, and Ferdinand feared to tamper with the honesty of this man, who had been many years in the service of the marquis. Dangerous as was the attempt, no other alternative appeared, and they were therefore compelled to rest all their hopes upon the experiment. It was settled, that if the keys could be procured, Ferdinand and Hippolitus should meet Julia in the closet; that they should convey her to the seashore, from whence a boat, which was to be kept in waiting, would carry them to the opposite coast of Calabria, where the marriage might be solemnized without danger of interruption.

If you think you can bear it, you should lose no time. Minutes even, I fear, are precious in this case.".
