Who could have been so mean as to take it away? Of course he had put it in its place. (A great stirring up of things and searching everywhere.) Dear! How meddlesome people were!

Really, wouldn’t any one be angry?,“Are there many ships in sight?”,After their laughter at her dramatic disappearance had died down, they sat quietly in the twilight watching the lamps flicker into life across the park, each one busy with her own thoughts.,"I dare say," she says, carelessly, purposely mistaking his meaning: "it must have been cold lying there.","Major, major, I have heard all!
