Say, Bill, where 'bouts is the path?",He motioned to his friend, and the two went over to the window and talked together in low tones.,“Stop that there ‘Dead March of Saul,’ an’ go put on yer overalls,” ordered Mrs. Wopp, “what’s the idear of the gardenin’ tool, go git the littlest shovel to put inter the chimbly, an’ don’t let the grass grow under yer feet, neither.”,Elinor sat down in surprise. "Oh, but I can't," she protested. "I can't sing at all. Miss Pat——",Then before the conversation went further the foreman came out the door. Bob noticed for the first time how powerful was the man’s build. He was tall and rangy, yet he seemed to radiate power.，"Upon my word, you're a classy young 'un," she grinned. "Come again soon and give us some more."，"Yes, old-fashioned. She is always called Doatie Darling by her familiars, which sounds funny.

In one hand he carried the smoking bake-pan, in the other a fat cookie deeply scalloped on one side.

“Now, Mose, fer the elbow. Stiddy! Don’t shove! Don’t pull! Hole her stiddy!”,"I thought about that," said Doris with veiled eyes on Elinor's pale face.

Does she sail fast?",Suddenly Croaker stretched himself erect. A soft whistle, so low as to be inaudible to the indignant woman but clear to his acute ears, had sounded from the far side of the wood pile. Pausing only long enough to locate the sound, Croaker spread his wings and volplaned down, emitting a hoarse croak of triumph almost in Mrs. Wilson's face, as he swept close above her.,"I suppose, sir," said Miss Acton to the[Pg 165] Admiral, "that there is no further news of the descent of the French.",One day Otto Holm proposed that they should see who could ride most quickly over a certain distance.
