To forget or to remember is not in one's own power."，“Good afternoon, Aunt Grenertsen.”，Below the veranda at Kingthorpe an avenue of nut trees stretched a long way.

Oh, what a day I've been havin', and how dear! You know I told you I was going to the orchard for a stroll and with a view to profitable meditation. Well, I went. At the upper end of the garden there are, as you know, some Portugal laurels, from which one can get a splendid survey of the country, and in an evil moment it occurred to me that I should like to climb one of them and look at the Chetwoode Hills.

"Wouldn't it be fun if we'd run across someone else this time?",The boys waited until the lantern's glow grew hazy through the slackening rain, then they sprang up and followed. Three-quarters of an hour later the trees began to thin. Unwittingly the strangers had guided them into the clearing.,Bruce laughed good-naturedly as he shook hands.,"What steps?" asked his sister.
