Hearing nothing from Captain Green, he paused "What a very quick voyage you have made this time, Captain Weaver!" called out Lucy.,CHAPTER XV THE CAPTURE OF BOB,"Oh—well—don't," interrupts Mrs. Geoffrey, hastily.,“I’m tho thorry, I wanted to hear more about the fairieth.” Lila Williams would have braved the elements to listen to more of Betty’s original stories.,"You'd be taken all care of, ma'am."，“All right, Bob, I will, but you’ll have to stop me if I begin to bore you. The Service is an enthusiasm of mine, you know.”，"No; he was not a draper," says Mona, gently, and without haste.，After the little procession had been going for some time, Harper began to taunt Bob.It was not long before the rolling hills on either side of the stream gave way to rocky cliffs and deep gulches through which little creeks trickled into the river. The current grew faster and here and there an ugly rock showed its head above the surface, the water rushing by angrily on either side.
