"The whole town will be paralysed at the news that its most distinguished citizen is only going to give them two days to get ready to receive him. I can see the panic the brass band will have now getting the brass polished up, and I want to be the one to tell Mayor Pollard myself, so as to suggest to him to have at least a two-hour speech of welcome to hand out at the train. We'll make it a great time for him when he lands in the old town.",Uncle Isaac had not given him anything the last time he was there, nor the time before either, so very likely—Pshaw! Even if you got nothing at all from Uncle Isaac, it was always more than pleasant to go to Kingthorpe. He wasn’t going there to beg—far from it; he wasn’t quite so mean as that.,“Don’t Job look jist like Mariar Mifsud goin’ to meetin’,” gurgled Betty.,Judith was deeply interested with their recital of the whole affair, and grew quite excited in the discussion as to the identity of the leader of the Ghost Dance.,"I don't think this is very nice," she whispered as Bruce was exchanging a few words with the smiling proprietor in the little cage behind the tiny counter.，Johnny Blossom blinked hard. He began to feel disgusted with himself. Just think of Aunt Grenertsen’s being very fond of apples—and of Mother’s feeling so sorry for her! Suddenly he rushed from the door.

"God knows what has become of the body!""What's that?" asked Mona. "Don't speak of your mother as if she were a chromatic scale."

"This is nicer than anything," she says, turning in a state of childish enthusiasm to Lady Lilias. "It is just like the floor in my uncle's house at home.","Who said that?" shouted Mr Lawrence, with the blood red in his face.,"My poor lads," said he, in a voice full of pathos. "First one and then the other--to lose them both in this awful fashion.",“Are your going to church?” she asked, disappointment drawing her lips to a tremulous curve.,"It's your affair, Norn," she demurred. "You ought to do the talking.","Yes, Mr. Alymer," replied Etwald, deliberately, "it reminds me of a man who died.",“We might as well be going,” said Jerry. “Hop in.” He was already at the oars, which he had tied securely to the oarlocks.

At this point the river was broad and, except for the towering hills which rose in the distance, it might have been a peaceful tributary stream of any civilized river. Its calm surface gave no warning of what was to come in the way of rapids and whirlpools. After a bit Bob took the oars and as he had had more experience with boats he made even better time than Jerry had. Turn by turn they went through the morning.,"You terrify me," says Geoffrey, with a grimace. "You think, then, that Mona is pretty?",“Now row away, row as far away as you like.
