"That is, if you will accept of my help.",“What have you been up to this afternoon, Jerry?” asked the Chief, when they had found their table.,Mr. Keeler was leaning across the back of the long seat, smiling commendingly upon him.,All these evidences of affection Violet notices in a dreamy, far-off fashion: she is the happier because of them; yet she only appreciates them languidly, being filled with one absorbing thought, that dulls all others. She accepts the chair, the compliment, and the tea with grace, but with somewhat vague gratitude.，“You sure?” demanded Ted. “I wonder how in thunder they drifted into this here party. I figgered it was all ours.”，He made a step to the ship's side, and the mate without answer slunk away to leeward.，That was not difficult, for the soft silk slipped into a knot as strong as if tied in hemp."You are doing it beautifully: keep it up," whispers he back: "she'll give you something nice if you sustain that look for five minutes longer.

"The wound at the back of the head was caused by his falling like a log when he was drugged.",“Good-by.” He bowed, his little naked heels put together in most formal manner.,An hour later, coming out of it again, feeling harassed and anxious, he finds Dorothy walking restlessly up and down the corridor outside, as though listening for some sound she pines to hear. Her pretty face, usually so bright and debonnaire, is pale and sad. Her lips are trembling.,“Five big ones and all of them bruised, so they are for us,” shouted Johnny Blossom; and the apples vanished inside his blouse.,"I hear this dance at the Chetwoodes' is to be rather a large affair," says Geoffrey, indifferently. "I met Gore to-day, and he says the duchess is going, and half the county.","Is that why people don't go near your place, 'cause they're scared of the dogs?"
