This lamp will do.”,"I'll go look up my sister and tell her," she said. "We can smuggle her into the clay room, too, to see your work, can't we? I know she'd be crazy to get a glimpse of it, and then she might get a snap-shot at the fun in here."，"It was a feeble effort," declares he, contemptuously striking with his cane the trunks of the trees as he goes by them.，“Did she?
