It sounds like some beautiful book.","They would, I s'pose," laughed Billy as he stepped out, followed by Moll, the little spaniel, "but these three don't have to keep long; you see we're goin' to have these fer dinner.",“What was the scheme the cattlemen had decided upon?” Whitney wanted to know.,"I should say I do.

I shouldn't feel half so shivery about going in there and drawing from those big casts, for I know they are all more or less beginners there."，"Have you news of her?" cried Miss Acton.，She looked her wonder. "But, Billy, you'd think they would want to enjoy building their own homes, wouldn't you?""I do, too, now," she declared. "But I've been paid up for my evilmindedness by losing half my good time.

Sure enough, the lads fell in love, but both with the same woman, a state of things not anticipated by the major, who was too simple to be a matchmaker.,When the two arrived, Nell Gordon was sitting with the sick child and crooning softly to her. Howard Eliot drew near, accidentally touching the firm round arm of Nell as he did so.,But May Nell was not to be comforted, till that evening when she composed a wonderful ode to “The Wreck of the Fair Ellen.”,"I can't help it," I gulped in my sleeve.
