And the pigeons wheeled and whirred, lighting almost under foot only to be up and off again, a flash of white and gray.,“Try a mile with this can and see where you come out in the race.”,“The poor beggar has sure been punished,” said the soldier.,All the floors at Kingthorpe were as shining as a mirror. Mother said they were waxed. It was a good thing the floors at home were not waxed, for it would be an awful job to take care of them. When he and Asta played tag around the dining-room table for instance—my, oh my! but there would be a good many scratches on the floor! Queer, that rich people must have every thing so fine! For his part, he thought such elegance was only a bother.，“For three days an’ three nights there was no sleep fer his eyes nor slumber fer his eyelets.”，If he was more thoughtful, quiet, at home, his hours of play were more keenly enjoyed as they grew daily fewer.

She was now the constant companion of Cornelia, whose declining health interested her pity, and strengthened her attachment.,OH! Everything was so horrid! That stupid Tellef Olsen! Always boasting and bragging about his muscle as if he were the only one in the town who had muscle. Well, anyway, he wouldn’t be coming around here any more to brag about it.,"Gollies! Is that so? Well he couldn't hurt the black snake; that's one sure thing.",However, just before the quitting whistle blew, Bob happened to be near the spot where the Indians were excavating.
