Lost for Love “All over the house does she put them?” the child asked after she had snipped a fragrant heap.,"That's my business," said Billy.,This last insinuation, he flatters himself, is rather cleverly introduced.,“Have you learned anything?” asked Bob quickly.,At this Sir Nicholas gives way and laughs out loud, whereon Mona laughs too, though she reddens slightly, and says, "Well, of course the piano will do, though the fiddle is best of all."，When nine o'clock rang from the church tower across the park she laid down her tools with an air of great content.，It didn’t turn out to be so bad as they had imagined. Shortly after they started the river grew smoother and shallower, so that wading was quite possible. During the afternoon of the next day, with almost startling suddenness they found themselves out of the canyon. It ended almost as surprisingly as it had begun. A sudden bend through the high cliffs and they were in the open country.，In the lodge were two persons, a man and his wife. The man said to him, "You are welcome; sit there." He spoke further, saying, "My son, you have seen this lodge of mine; I give it to you. Look carefully at it, inside and outside, and fix up your lodge in that way. It may be a help to you hereafter."
