Then they proceeded to loaf until the answer arrived.,“Nothing much,” was the answer. “Fooling ’round the Canyon a little.”,"I wish I could have seen it forever," says Mr. Darling, gallantly, addressing Mona; "but all good things have an end too soon. Do you remember some lines like these? they come to me just now:,“I thought Holman was a cattleman,” said Bob. “This looks as if he were a farmer.”,“Then you don’t love yer li’l sister ef you don’t want her to look like you.” Betty almost wept.,"I quite agree, but it is so unusual for Tupman to be out of bed at this hour that we[Pg 79] cannot but think that something very important and dangerous has called him from his moorings. No, sister, the flat-bottomed boats are not in sight yet, and I suspect we shall have to go on staring for many a week, and many a month, if not for ever, before we sight them coming along in a shoal with the little cocked-hatted usurper, his arms folded upon his breast, watching the van from the hindmost, for he is one of those mighty conquerors who are very careful of their own precious carcasses.","He expected to be married last fall, but there was a hitch in getting out his book," said Mr. Hilton, as he finished his salad.
