"Will you tell me what prompted you to dare what no other person in the Settlement would dare! Was it simply curiosity?",“Moses, here with that pie,” called the gratified Mrs. Wopp, “Yer par wants some.”,From the bay-waters came the lonely cry of a loon, from the marshes the booming of night-basking bullfrogs. The hoot of the owl sounded faintly from the forest beyond; the yap of a foraging fox drifted through the night's stillness from the uplands.，"I can't understand you, sir," said Jen, with a sigh. "Whatever your reasons may be, I feel sure that I shall not approve of them."，"Very self-denying of him, indeed," says Geoffrey, with a slight sneer, and a sigh of relief.，CHAPTER XVIII THE METTLE OF THE BREED“Look out!

"They don't allow other people in the life-class rooms. You'd have to go home and see that Judith was all right.
