He deliberately replaces the precious paper in his pocket, and turns as if to go.,“Thank you, Father.”,“Because Rensselaer Polytech opens a few days after we get back.”,"We don't waste anything, anyway, and we do all we can to be nice to other people," said Judith, seriously. "And that ought to count, oughtn't it?",“Oh”—Further probing on Mother’s part to find out what Aunt Grenertsen’s share of the harvest had amounted to, drew forth the truth, uttered with a show of enthusiasm.,"Well, he wasn't givin' no signs that you did," Sward returned, "he seemed to me to be tryin' his best to keep from laughin' in your face.",“Express yourself clearly and eat properly.”,"Fine," commended Billy.
