"She won't let on for the world, but I know she's feeling mighty important about something. I can tell by the way she whisks about that she's enjoying herself immensely."，"H'm, we see, missy, we see," said Dido, darkly. "But why you marry dis man I no like?"，Billy, his arm about Sphinx's neck, spoke. "Come, ol' feller; come here," he said.At last she looked up and pointed a startling finger at May Nell. “Mary Ellen Smith, my familiars, who guard the portals of futurity, declare that you shall be the first honored. Minions, depart! Slaves, guard the door!”

"Ringdo," cried Erie, slapping the coon's fat sides, "you can't possibly see your friend, Frank, now so come along.
