"But you told me you were poor. That a third son——","I shall help you also," she said sadly. "That is, if you will accept of my help.",After she had said good-bye and they Were waiting at the curator's desk, Elinor spoke musingly.，The twilight shadows were beginning to steal across the glade; the golden-rod of the uplands massed into indistinguishable clumps. The silence of eventide fell soft and sweet and songless—that breathless space between the forest day and darkness.，"No. Do you not remember when we examined the window that it was opened from the inside?"，That I haven't the heart, I confess,"Yis."

The great cabin, or living-room, was already lighted by two lanterns which swung from hooks on either side the skylight fore-and-aft.

That youth had followed his country friend from the Sunday-school hall, but not in time to direct his erring steps.,She meant by this, as Pope, or rather Horace, held, that a woman may have a very great genius, and yet be so weak in the significant and quint-essential actions of her life as to prove herself characterless.
