"I remember her visit; but she gave as her excuse that you wanted to see me.",“Why, Buzz Lancaster, how did you get here?” Edith went back and steadied him over the uneven ground. “Phew! He smells of gasoline! Where has he been, do you suppose, mother?”,"'Tis a very old-fashioned term, madam," said General Groves, "current in my time, but I question if much understood in this."，“No, I didn’t forget; the water was low, and I left it running on purpose. But it’s that west wind; she’s a hummer. She can pump faster ’n the old waste pipe can discharge.”，Strangely enough, there were almost no apples left on the tree now, except those on a very slender branch.

The boys gathered them hurriedly and deposited them under a gooseberry bush.，"A month, I dare say. Longer, if I like it; shorter, if I don't. By the by, you told me the other day it was the dream of your life to see me in Parliament, now that 'Old Dick' has decided on leading a sedentary existence,—a very stupid decision on his part, by the way, so clever as he is."The little pathetic insinuation is as perfect as it is touching.
