"A French corsair was chased ashore about five miles up and burnt.",In his distress his wandering eye discovered a bunch of vine ties, short pieces of soft hemp rope for fastening vines to their supporting stakes. They were hanging against the rear of the coop, and a gust of wind had blown them into view. Like a flash he sprang and caught them; tied several together in quick, strong knots, and lashed himself to the little tree. Then he took up the board again, poised it at a perpendicular, calculated the angle, and slowly dropped it. Would the end reach the sill? No, it was too short!,A frightfully piercing whistle resounded in the little room.,God will never, never forsake thee.,“Jeremias the wood-cutter is ill in bed, too,” he said suddenly.，“Yes, you surely must have one.”，"I am sure of that," remarked Jen, taking the devil-stick off the table. "And you stole this, I'll be bound."，"I'll take it," says Nicholas; "but, even if you did, I should still owe you a debt of gratitude for bringing Doatie here thirty minutes before we hoped for her.""I think I told you, Sir William," said Captain Acton, after a short interval passed in reflection, "that the Minorca is in want of a captain."

"Now that we've got ol' Harry's charm along with my rabbit-foot," Billy was saying, "we ought'a be able to snoop 'round in the ha'nted grove an' even hunt through the house any time we take the notion.

You know yourself, Bill, old man Scroggie was a tartar. Nobody ever fooled him while he was alive an' nobody need try now he's dead. If he wants to come back here an' snoop round lookin' fer the money he buried an' forgot where, it's his own funeral.

"We're locked out!","I was dreaming of the foot of the Causeway," he whispered, "and the light.",Mrs. Geoffrey, thus addressed, rouses herself, and says, "What can I do for you?" in a far-away tone that proves she has been in thought-land miles away from every one. Through her brain some words are surging. Her mind has gone back to that scene in the conservatory last night when she and Paul Rodney had been together. What was it he had said?

She lays two fingers on her smooth white brow, and lets a little frown—born only of bewildered thought—contract its fairness.,Moses was whistling a dismal discordant air in the backyard when the voice of his mother smote his ears.,Billy tried further inducements. "I'll give you my new red tie an' celluloid collar," he offered.,She tucks up her dignified train in a most undignified haste, while Geoffrey covers up all the finery with the crimson shawl. The white cloud is once more thrown over the dainty cap; all the pretty coloring vanishes out of sight; and Mona, after one last lingering glance at Geoffrey, follows its example.
