"I'll get my old trunk here unstrapped, and we'll talk while I lay out my duds in those nice wide bureau drawers. You'll laugh, I guess, when you see what I've brought you each, but I want you to promise that if you don't like them, you'll say so, and I'll hunt up something that pleases you better.",Betty watching her, thought she had never seen “Mar” look so handsome and she thoroughly appreciated the cause.,"It was," says Nicholas, feeling a reply can no longer be shirked. Then he says, "Ahem!" and turns his glance confidingly upon the carpet.，“Come, Betty Girl,” said Moses, “Mar wants you to go to bed.”，Lila Williams, with her dark curls falling over a pale blue gingham dress, stood watching the proceedings with impatience.
