An immense pride filled him that this boy could be so unselfish and destroy his own carefully laid plans for the future with such a brave attempt at sincerity.,Patricia opened her eyes wide. "Why, Bruce is the most amiable sort," she protested. "He'll simply eat out of your hand up at home. I didn't know he ever criticized here," she ended, rather suspiciously.,"The devil-stick!" gasped Jen, pointing a shaking finger at the wall. "The devil-stick!","The horrid things!" murmured Patricia to herself, with her wrath beginning to rise. "I'd pinch their noses for them if they made me kiss them! Elinor's too gentle with them. I wonder why she doesn't pull the string? She could reach it easily now.",“My, oh, my! She is so heavy! You would hardly believe how heavy she is; but I almost know that I could lift her and hold her at arm’s length with my arm out like this, perfectly straight!”，"You insult me," says Dorothy, growing even whiter than she was before, "when you speak to me of—of——"，"What in the world—" she began in alarm, but Elinor silenced her questioning with a weak wave of one tired hand.，"Where's Bill?"

Robert withdrew abashed, and it was some time before any person ventured to renew the subject with the marquis.,"Battersea!" cried Jen, thunderstruck.

Begin!","You don't think her life is in danger?" asked David, in a faltering tone.,"I shall go away," declares Nolly; "I shall go aboard,—at least as far as the orchard;" then, with a complete change of tone, "By the by, Mrs. Geoffrey, will you come for a walk?
