Patricia stood still in sudden swift contrition.,"Eh?" says Mona, innocently, and stares at him with an expression so full of bewilderment, being puzzled by his tone more than his words, that presently Mr. Rodney becomes conscious of a feeling akin to shame. Some remembrance of a line that speaks of "a soul as white as heaven" comes to him, and he makes haste to hide the real meaning of his words.,"I am sure I should not," says Rodney.，"Good!" exulted Stanhope.

Is every one well at home?”，"What is the matter?" asked Lady Meg, as she saw the major's face grow dark with his thought. "Is anything wrong?"“That’s the reason. She says a boy will spoil the part; won’t get the shivers like she will. She thinks a minstrel can’t—can’t minstrelize properly without the shivers.”

"Alas! you only make fun of me; such a thing would not be suitable for me at all.",“Land O’ Goshen! Ye’ve a peck of nails in the wall orlready. You couldn’t add two an’ two without wrappin’ up yer thumb an’ countin’ what’s left,” remonstrated Mrs. Wopp.,"I like the idea," said Captain Acton, "of a naval officer being in charge of my vessel.
