Walzes and polkas, you mean?" she says, in a puzzled tone.，The small amount of work in the shape of discharging and receiving cargo which was being done on the wharves of Old Harbour, had come to a pause when the labourers' dinner-hour struck, and but three or four figures were visible upon the tar-black platforms along which the little ships were moored.

"You'd best close your mouth while the closin's good, an' if anythin' happens to that pail you're goin' to hear from me."，"You ought to be ashamed of yourself, David Carson!" she cried, her big gray eyes alight and a pretty flush on her cheeks.

He paused abruptly as he passed by her, and asked a direct question:,“Don’t care a doughnut,” answered Moses defiantly, “I’d ruther turn the washin’ machine any day than stand like a goose spellin’ words any arss can spell.”,"Look at my leg," said Mīka´pi; "swollen and sore.
