He flew to the door by which he had entered, and was fortunate enough to reach it before the entrance of the persons whose steps he heard. Having turned the key, he stopped at the door to listen to their proceedings. He distinguished the voices of two men, and knew them to be those of the assassins. Presently he heard a piercing skriek, and at the same instant the voices of the ruffians grew loud and violent. One of them exclaimed that the lady was dying, and accused the other of having frightened her to death, swearing, with horrid imprecations, that she was his, and he would defend her to the last drop of his blood. The dispute grew higher; and neither of the ruffians would give up his claim to the unfortunate object of their altercation.,"Him great man!" said Dido, solemnly. "Him berry--berry great!","Not yet; but I suppose there must be a village near here, and an inn, and I want you to direct me how to get to it.

As for this little key, it is that of the closet at the end of the long gallery on the ground floor. Open everything, and go everywhere except into that little closet, which I forbid you to enter, and I forbid you so strictly, that if you should venture to open the door, there is nothing that you may not have to dread from my anger!"

"Oh, well, what's the odds?" says Nolly. "Whether she is French, or English, Irish or German, she has just the loveliest face I ever saw, and the sweetest ways.

Now, everybody go home.","Bah! mommie's baby boy won't fight?" taunted the eager one. "But by gollies! I'm goin' to make you," he added, scowling fiercely.,“Oh, no. These are some that got smashed and you said we might eat those.”,"But," added Jen, raising his head, "as until that explanation we are enemies--although not openly so--I shall require you to leave my house.",The little girl went straight into the house holding the cornucopia of dates stiffly with both hands, while Johnny Blossom, with snowball ready, stood and watched her.,“Lucky stiff!” he said pleasantly. “Beat me to it, didn’t you?”,Still she hesitates, and he is not slow to notice the eloquent pause.,Mrs. Dallas was about to speak, when the negress silenced her with a look, and raised her head proudly.,“Feel that muscle,” he said a moment later; bending his arm, and pressing her fingers to it. “That’s got to grow by a broom or hoe, something besides football!”,"Oh, indeed!" says Mona; and then, with downcast eyes, "but I don't know, because you never told me before.".
