Dido was standing upon the veranda with her eyes glowing like two coals. Yet there was an ill-concealed expression of triumph in her gaze, which Maurice, in his then disturbed and angered state of mind, could ill brook. He paused abruptly as he passed by her, and asked a direct question:,"Go and see Dr. Etwald and tell him you will give evidence against him unless he gives you the stone."，"How comes it," said he, "that the key of the closet is not with the others?"，Old Greyquill, trudging on busy in thought with Mr Lawrence's debt, was moved by some idea of the man to look behind him. Mr Lawrence had disappeared. Quite discernible from where Greyquill stood was the sheet of paper Lawrence had let fall. Old Greyquill stopped, peered, reflected that it might be a letter that he himself had unconsciously been toying with and had dropped, or that in some other way had let fall from his pocket. He retraced the few steps that lay between and picked it up, and proceeded with it in one hand, whilst with the other he fumbled for his spectacle-case.，"Will your majesty deign to confer some slight sign of favor upon a very devoted servant?"This is a bad beginning.

Johnny walked with greatest care, his arms outstretched and his tongue in his cheek, to help him keep his balance.,Again Jerry hesitated and Bob realized that a struggle was going on within him.,“Oh ’bout the fairies an’ stars an’ lovely things that grownups know nothin’ about.”,What a crazy idea!
