I believe St Vincent would be very pleased did he possess your powers of delivery.",At the almshouse all the old women gathered in the hall and stared at Johnny Blossom. He looked very little standing among them. Indeed they would come, all of them, he might be sure of that.,"I don't believe it.","You're 'fair lifted,' aren't you, Norn?" she asked curiously. "I didn't know you ever got so daffy over anything. I've never seen you if you have."，All the servants have received orders to go to bed, and on no account to sit up for Mr. Rodney, as he can let himself in in his own way,—a habit of his for many years.

"I get awfully excited when I write something good. Why, sometimes I cry, I'm so happy about it, and I jump up and down, too, all by myself."，“Nope. Boss man he gone downside El Paso.

"Do be still, Miss Pat," she said sedately. "We've waited two whole days already—five minutes more won't hurt us.",Stooping, he presses his lips to her hand for the first time.
