"And I think it will take only a very little time to make me love you!",Bob looked up to see a young fellow of about his own age coming towards them. He was rather tall and dark and dressed in khaki, and wore canvas leggins. It was the costume of a regular civil engineer, thought the boy from the East.,“Come on in, folks,” he said. “Sing Lee’s done himself proud.”，“Well, well!” exclaimed Madame Bakke in delight. “Am I to go to Kingthorpe?”，"Swim?"，"Lies! Oh, fie!" says Doatie. "Who tells lies? Nobody, except the naughty little boys in tracts, and they always break their legs off apple-trees, or else get drowned on a Sunday morning.
