And the pigeons wheeled and whirred, lighting almost under foot only to be up and off again, a flash of white and gray.,“The fleetin’ of youth is most sartin,” answered his wife, coining this epigram on the shortness of life’s spring-time, and sighing as she spoke. The good lady herself was looking through a stereoscope at some views and finding one of Niagara Falls she endeavored to cheer her despondent husband.,"What can be the meaning of it?" said Captain Acton.，Billy thought he detected a touch of resigned disappointment in her words, and looked up with a sudden wonder widening his eyes, making them shine even in the dim light of the shaded lamp. “Do you want me to preach, mamma?”，John now started on his way to Kingthorpe.

What you say?",She would have gone to him then, and tried to console him in her own pretty fashion, but he motions her to stay where she is.,When Edith planned to turn her pupils’ recital into a great Spring Festival, for the benefit of the sufferers, all the town applauded, and asked how it could help.,Satisfied, Bob let the matter rest. So far the journey, with the exception of the one upset, had proved rather tame going and both boys were a little surprised that former explorers had found it impossible to make the passage.

It was free, unfettered, and in a degree lawless. It suited me better.","I have!" cried the delighted lawyer, "and whether he left you much or little nobody can dispute your claim.
