"They're all simply stunned, but they're mighty glad, too. They're going to give the Academy Howl. Oh, Patricia, I wish I could howl, too!",'As I am a Christian faithful man,Judith shrugged uneasily.，"The devil-stick!" gasped Jen, pointing a shaking finger at the wall. "The devil-stick!"，The man draws back hurriedly, and the woman once more sinks back into her forlorn position.，"I am going to ask you to think first and speak last," he began.
