Come on an' I'll show you where it's buried.",“My dear Johnny! No, no!”,See! in the darkened air their fiery course!,"Yes.

"Many things affect me curiously," she goes on, dreamily,—"sad pictures and poetry and the sound of sweet music.",“But—but you are!” stammered Bob, taken aback for a moment by Jerry’s words. “Didn’t you admit it—”,“My dear Johnny! No, no!”,"There, don't cry, and you shall have it all your own way," he says, with a sigh. "To-morrow we will decide what is to be done.","I will, darlin', shurely," says Bridget, who adores the ground she walks on; and then, turning, she leaves her.
