Then[251] everybody tried to explain at the same time and only succeeded in confusing the man more. His eye, darting through the crowd, fell on Bob and the others. “Here, Hazard,” he called, “tell me quick what’s up!”,"Why on earth," says Nolly, "can't they tell each other, what they have told the world long ago, that they adore each other? It is so jolly senseless, don't you know?",“Yeh, we went to the shootin’ gallery, an’ the amuseum, an’ got inter a little square cage an’ shot away up to the top of an orful high buildin’ an’ got a sparrer’s eye view of the city.”,Hands of invisible spirits touch the strings，"Bless me!" says Geoffrey; "what an appalling thought! it makes me feel faint."，"To see Dr. Etwald, I suppose?"，Billy arose and moving softly to the stove picked up the harmless milk snake, squirming and protesting, from the warm floor.
