She moves back with a heightened color, disengages her hands from his and frowns slightly.,"Inside the gate," asked Jen, "or outside, on the road?",Lou knit her brows in thought. "No," she disagreed, "if you had been that frightened you would not have come to the grove at all."，Mona, though still angered, is yet somewhat softened by this speech, as might any woman.

I’m so sick of cows that I never want to see a long horn again. I’d like to be an engineer. I sneaked up once or twice to the dam. It must be fun to help built it. But I reckon it’s not for me.” The boys were silent, each busy with his own thoughts. Then the newcomer exclaimed, “But here’s the place we want to do some fishing. Grab a line and bait up!”，They consulted on the plan to be adopted, and agreed, that in attempting to bribe a servant of the monastery to their interest, they should incur a danger too imminent, yet it appeared scarcely practicable to succeed in their scheme without risquing this.
