At the sound of her voice the crow stopped trying to tear the nosepiece from the lens and cocked his head side-wise.,“John dear,” said Mother, “you are not to use such expressions.”，"What do you want to make a show of her for, Bruce?" she remonstrated feelingly. "You can say all you have to say right here, can't you?"，"Bill, watch out!" warned Maurice. "There's a big womper coiled on that lily-root. You're makin' right fer it."，Billy nodded.
