He takes all the best food and leaves us nothing. He is the chief of this place.",CHAPTER VII.

"The day is fortunately warm: damp clothes are an advantage rather than otherwise."，"You did not mean it, Mona, did you? You are content here with me?—you have no regret?"，“I hear that you wish to sell your fishing rod so as to get money for Tellef’s grandmother,” said Father at the dinner table. “Very well, John.

Mrs. Keeler went back to the basket on the table and started to remove the packages, one by one.,"I see that you are a feather-headed kitten," said Elinor, not at all mollified.
