The boys followed Mr. Whitney inside. “This is the Quarter-house,” Mr. Whitney explained as they went in. “They have rooms here for the engineering force and it is also used as a hotel if any guests happen to come along. I’ll see if you boys can be put up here until we can find permanent quarters for you.”,“All right Lize, I’ll jist make a note of that.”，"Thank you so much," she said in a tone of such even sweetness that Patricia felt uncomfortable, though she did not know why.，“You don’t mean to go through it, do you?” said Jerry, startled out of his usual calm manner by the way in which the other boy had spoken.，"She's done nine, sir, in my experience of her," answered Mr Eagle.
