I have never said much about it, but nobody knows how it hurts me to be as—large as I am. Just writing it down in a book mortifies me dreadfully. It's been coming on worse and worse every year since I married. Poor Mr. Carter had a very good appetite, and I don't know why I should have felt that I had to eat so much every day to keep him company; I wasn't always so considerate about him. Then he didn't want me to go for long walks with the dogs any more, because married women oughtn't to, or ride horseback either—no amusement left but himself; and—and—I just couldn't help the tears coming and dripping as I thought about it all and that awful waist measure in inches.,"No, sir, no!" cried the Admiral in a deep, trembling voice.,A tall dark-haired youth in a gray suit and overcoat, who had been standing with his back to them a short distance away, turned and showed a pleasant, homely face with two very lively eyes and a wide, firm mouth.,"'Disgrace!'" she repeated hotly. "Why, do you know, Elinor Kendall, that they're all saying already that you're a wonder?" Then with a swift change, she broke into a giggle. "Wait till you lay eyes on my contribution to the modeling competition. You'll have the treat of your young life then!"，"Major! Do you think--"，"I wonder who it could have been," they both murmured as they went upstairs to their rooms.，Mrs. Bliggins’ narrative came to an end.

Half an hour later when Mrs. Keeler carrying two bowls of steaming bread and milk ascended the stairs Billy alone sat up to reach for it.,"Perhaps. I hope you won't get into a mess there, and make me more unhappy than I am. We are uncomfortable enough without that. You know you are always doing something bizarre,—something rash and uncommon!","She has decided!" said Alymer, sharply. "She loves me.",Feather-in-the-Wind signified his willingness to do what he could by a nod of his head.,The light now enabled him to take a more accurate survey of the place. He perceived that some few stones of the steps which had fallen still remained attached to the wall, but he feared to trust to their support only. He observed, however, that the wall itself was partly decayed, and consequently rugged with the corners of half-worn stones. On these small projections he contrived, with the assistance of the steps already mentioned, to suspend himself, and at length gained the unbroken part of the stairs in safety. It is difficult to determine which individual of the party rejoiced most at this escape. The morning now dawned, and Ferdinand desisted for the present from farther enquiry.,"How pretty that is! Yet I should like you to see me, if only for once, as you have seen others," says Mona.,“I think we’d better go back to camp. The shooting over there sounds as if our part of the job is over. Think so?”,"No," said Hinter, startled at the directness of look and question. "I don't know.",That is the part you mean, is it not? I know all that poem very nearly by heart.","Patience! Patience! I shall tell you when the time comes. But, by the way, major--Dido?",It was a horrible situation, for there seemed to be nothing that could be done.
