Talk he must, so talk he does,—anywhere and everywhere, and under all circumstances.,“May I ask whether it was you that took the boat-hook out of my sail-boat?”,"To the old fort?" asks Mona, starting to her feet.,“That’s the story, Mr. Whitney,” he finished. “And as the dam is safe, everything seems to be all right only, only—” Here the boy’s voice broke—“the part about Jerry.

"You may not like it very much, Elinor——""Well, we have both seen the bay," says Mona, cheerfully,—"Bantry Bay I mean: so we can talk about that. Yet indeed"—seriously—"you cannot be said to have seen it properly, as it is only by moonlight its full beauty can be appreciated. Then, with its light waves sparkling beneath the gleam of the stars, and the moon throwing a path across it that seems to go on and on, until it reaches heaven, it is more satisfying than a happy dream.

Sand Sharkers, sullen and defiant, holding themselves apart, came in one big group.,"Send a boat and we'll give you what you want!" shouted Weaver.,Bob paid no attention to this outburst, letting it go past his ears. Wesley’s voice from behind took up the refrain.,"I'll teach you to smoke on the sly, you young outlaw, you!","Exactly. And, Benjamin, kin you imagine the old deacon's face in the mornin' when he sees what we've done?" And the two cronies went off laughing over their prospective raid.,"I don't think you can have much, certainly," says Mr. Rodney, with the grossest rudeness, "when you can let a few ridiculous scruples interfere with both our happiness." Then, resentfully, "Do you hate me?","Yes; I know it! Oh, do not wait to ask questions, but go.
