Had he needed a motto for his reflections he might have found one in the Duke of Gloster's speech:,"He's down to the far medder, watchin' the gap, Maurice. Don't you go near him.",“The darned old robber!” Billy started up and walked restlessly toward the door.,"Ah!" murmured Mrs. Dallas, casting a haggard look around. "All is lost.",At the farthest end of the room, near a window, lying back in an arm-chair, lies Mona, sound asleep.，"A cookie, a nice fat cookie, with a raisin in its centre," coaxed the girl.，Once back at the dam Bob took his share of the fish he had caught up to Mr. Whitney’s cottage. “Brought you some fish, Chief,” he said. “But I think I’ve hooked a much bigger fish.
