Wonder what he would do if I gave it to him to read just as it is?,"I do remember it," replies she, bitterly.,"Oh, Geoffrey, wasn't it well you went to Ireland and met Mona? Because if you had stayed on here last autumn we might have been induced to marry each other, and then what would have become of poor Jack?"，“I figger our bird will be pretty near safe in this li’l’ cage,” said Dave Harper. “’Member when we holed up that hoss thief here?”，"I don't think so," said he, with conviction. "Why should he kill Maurice?"，"Now he is thinking of that horrid lawsuit again," says Nolly, regretfully, who is a really good sort all round.

"For goodness' sake, don't be jumping into admirations wholesale, Miss Pat, darling," said Elinor, gently pulling Patricia's arm through hers as they passed into the narrow entrance to the dressing room. "Don't rush at it so, ducky. You can't know the right people at once, and it saves a lot of bother not to get too familiar with the wrong ones.","Grandmother, what large teeth you have!",Interruption by the prisoner's counsel: "But without the consent of the mother.",“Yes, and awfully good things to eat.”,"All alike, Molly; all as much alike as peas in a pod; all except John Moore, who's the only exception in all the male tribe I ever met!
