He has lovely hair, too. He's tremendously fond of Miriam Halden, did you notice?","It must be Tom Hughes' birthday," said Elinor. "But whose ever it is, we are going to celebrate, since we're invited. I'll write 'immejit,' as Hannah Ann says.",They were fully a mile away from the place of terror before sheer exhaustion forced them to abate their wild speed and tumble in a heap beneath a big elm tree, along the trail of the forest.,"To see me!" said Maurice, looking at his rival. "Then why did you not go to 'Ashantee?'","We got——" commenced Maurice, but Billy pinched his leg for silence.，Bob’s first feeling was of his own littleness, his unimportance in the face of such magnitude. But this went away as the sun, dropping steadily to the opposite horizon, began to paint the scenes with magic colors.，Friction and mustard, hot water bags without and hot tea within soon set Billy’s teeth at rest.，"There's no hurry, anyway," insisted Patricia.
