The air of desolation which reigned through the south buildings, and the circumstance of their having been for so many years shut up, would naturally tend to inspire awe; but to these people, who firmly believed them to be the haunt of an unquiet spirit, terror was the predominant sentiment.,"Bless your heart, Infant, you're a martyr to our long tongues!" cried Patricia, jumping up and putting out the light. "Go to sleep now. We won't chirp a single note. Good-night, and happy dreams!","That's it!" exclaimed Mr Lawrence.,“Don’t you think it might help if I got my boss, Mr. Whitney, to come down and talk to him about it?”,"Oh, I don't know," replied Patricia easily. "She's kind, anyway. I think if she were thin, people wouldn't find her half bad. Fat people never seem quite as human as the rest of us."，Tom allowed a shade of amiability to creep into his tones as he said: "First time we ever shot these grounds, and we're kinder green on the ins and outs of 'em. We're drillin' fer water down in the Settlement. Lost our drill this mornin' and had to send across the lake fer a fishin' outfit, so thought we'd put in the time shootin' a bit."，“Maria, where is St. Elmo?” asked Mrs. Mifsud, as with flushed face she basted some fowls in the oven.，"What a dismal view you take of my trip!

She looked even more agitated than Patricia had expected her to be.,"There, do go away!" says this woodland goddess. "I am sick of you and your stupidity.","Oh, no," says Mona, gently; "only I should like you better, of course, if you were not the cause of our undoing.",Elinor sat down in surprise. "Oh, but I can't," she protested. "I can't sing at all. Miss Pat——","What has become of her?" cried Miss Acton, sinking suddenly into her tremulous voice and into a manner of alarm, bewilderment, and general confusion of mind. "What shall you do to find out?",Patricia clapped her hands.,Johnny Blossom also was indignant over the pilot’s interference with their fine plan for feeding the goat. But it wasn’t the stupidest thing in the world to tie the goat’s legs together. In the afternoon they would do that, and Pilot Stiansen needn’t trouble himself any more over their affairs.,And so does Captain Rodney.,"I shall go away," declares Nolly; "I shall go aboard,—at least as far as the orchard;" then, with a complete change of tone, "By the by, Mrs. Geoffrey, will you come for a walk? Do: the day is 'heavenly fair.'","Well, that's me an' you. Now then, what you s'pose I meant by them symbols? I meant this. I've gotta watch gap.
