"She's regularly wrapped up in Elinor, because she's so much like Aunt Louise, she says."，Services were over before she found time to be lonely. Dinner passed happily. The cats stayed quietly in their chair till dessert, when they came, one on either side of Edith, and stood with their forepaws on the table, their heads and shoulders above it.，A gleam of satisfaction lit Anson's shifty eyes.

Down the sides of cliffs like these, which even the mountain goats had difficulty in mastering, the Service had to build its roads.

In his imagination Bob saw the smooth face of an enormous dam filling even this great canyon,—generating enough horse power to run all the factories of the West, and collecting enough water to irrigate all the homes that could be made on the great American desert.
