You can’t jedge a hoss by his hide.”,“Your mamma said I was to ask no questions, and I shall obey; but I do wish I knew how I could help you.” She touched the bandage that bound his head. “Does it hurt you awfully much, Billy? I’m so sorry. My eyes ache me, too, for looking at you.”，“You’re George Rideout Smith’s kid, ain’t you?”，“I forgive you,” he condoned.，“Did Clarence show you the sights of the city this morning?” asked Mr. Crump, trying to repress a smile.“Here’s Mis’ Mifsud an’ St. Elmo comin’ in the buckboard,” he announced.

However, that strict disciplinarian had a vast store of startling reprimands that set all eyes gazing on her sincere countenance.,“I didn’t—I haven’t washed. I’m—” All at once as Billy walked through the tiled entrance, and felt himself in the midst of splendors he had viewed only from without, he was overcome with the suspicion that he looked rather queer beside the immaculate Doctor.

I heard a xylophone for the first time.”,Billy took the can she held toward him, and made a face that was half fun, half discontent, yet not unloving.

So one mornin’ they met him as he was goin’ to school, an’ they give him a good beatin’ up, then flung him in Rodd’s creek to cool him, bein’ winter.
