She’s a regular progidy, isn’t she?” Billy’s eyes shone.,"Oh, that I could believe so!" says Mona, forgetful of manners, courtesy, everything, but the desire to see those she loves restored to peace.,“That’s only an excuse, John. You remembered it all the time. Look me right in the eye and say whether you didn’t remember it.”,Her head went down to hide against his arm.，"Jest a minute, young man." Caleb's voice was stern. "I see you've cut your own and your best gal's initials onto my new bench. Did you have much trouble doin' it, might I ask?"，“Did you hev a good time in the city larst week, Mis’ Mifsud?” asked Mrs. Wopp, politely.，"Yes, major. It was this way.
