He had since offered it and had tried to thrust it on her, but injured pride could not thus be appeased.,“S’tup,” he commanded. Jethro immediately sat up on his hind legs.,Outside of the flower garden proper and between it and the vegetables, were several rows of gay sunflowers. Mr. Wopp approved of these mightily, because the seeds were “sich grand feed for the chickings.” Betty looked on these gaudy sentinels with sorrowing pity, because they had not the daintiness of the other flowers.,“Open window.”，“Run, Billy!

Something about May Nell attracted him, whether it was her beauty, her fearlessness, or her air of distinction he did not know.
