Grabbing the oars, he made a vain effort to stem the boat’s headway by pulling against the stream. He was too late. The current had the frail craft in its grip.,"If I was, how could I ask you to marry me?" returns he, in a tone so hurt that she grows abashed.，"Oh, I have my work to do; and besides, I often prefer standing."，"Inside the gate," asked Jen, "or outside, on the road?"，Alas! alas! what foul deed may even now be doing while she stands here powerless to avert it,—her efforts all in vain! How richly shines the sweet heaven, studded with its stars! how cool, how fragrant, is the breeze! How the tiny wavelets move and sparkle in the glorious bay below.

He couldn’t see the tramp cat, for the big oak tree hid him. But the second Tom answered his mew, Flash flew like a lightning streak, around the tree and up to that old, stealing feline cat. And he ran— O Billy, you’d have laughed an ache in your side if you could have seen him run,—over the fence, he ran again, across the street, down the sidewalk,—he never stopped till he came to the tip top of Mr. Potter’s big locust tree.”,Judith sat with one stocking in her hand, dreaming, and she awoke with a start.,“Why?” Bob wanted to know.,"A doctor's brougham?",THE silence was broken a little later by merry voices on the stairway.
