book of life pumpkin Insufferable sting, that sanity should ground arms on such a field! But The house, or at least the front of it, was built after a design by Inigo Jones. The pediment was perforated by a circular window glazed with a casement whose frame resembled the spokes of a ship's wheel. A variety of antique symbolism resembling the hideous sculptures which sometimes close the chapters in books of the seventeenth century, under-ran the eaves. The tall, narrow windows gleamed blackly amidst the skeletons of the winter, or the coloured embroidery of the[Pg 3] summer creepers. The hall door was noble and hospitable in expanse. A carriage drive swept from it on either hand the oval lawn to a handsome gate whose supports were crowned by the arms of the Actons on the one hand and the arms of a family into which one of the Actons had married on the other hand.,"I didn't ring," she explained, standing on the little blue rug by the umbrella stand, and jabbing her dripping umbrella into the stand. "The hall door was open and I came right in." She hesitated, and then rushed on, directing most of her speech to Elinor. "Geraldine Leighton is dying, they say, and I thought we might each send a little note to Doris—she's awfully alone, now that Mrs. Leighton is ill, you know. It mightn't help her much, but it would show her that we——","Nonsense! Would you have me believe you are afraid of her?","You will give me an explanation at once," says Geoffrey, slowly, addressing his cousin. "What brought you here?",“I know it, sir!”，And the worthy old lady's eyes grew dim as she pronounced the words "our Lucy."，Pennsylvania Scroggie had been one of the first to offer his congratulations. "Young man," he said to Stanhope, "I'm some rough on the outside but I reckon I'm all right inside. You've got your sight back and you've got, in this fine piece of land my old uncle left you, what promises to be a real oil field. Hinter and I are going to develop it for you, if you've no objections. And you've got a whole lot more than that," glancing at Erie, who stood near. And Stanhope, sensing the sterling worth of the man, shook hands gladly.，When you do dance, I wish you"No; I'll walk."

He drops his eyes, and the low, sneering laugh she has learned to know and to hate so much comes again to his lips.,Mona hardly hears him.

"I know nothing at all about thistles, except that donkeys love them!",Billy glanced at his mother.,"I don't think so, my boy.

But I daresay if you become engaged to her, Etwald will remove you also from his path.","No," said Hinter, startled at the directness of look and question. "I don't know.",Mrs. Wopp drew the green curtains together and turned to the smallest girl in the class.,"My poor uncle," he said in a low voice. "I cannot tell you what I feel. Etwald telegraphed to me the first thing in the morning, and I came down by the earliest train there was. Poor Maurice!--and we parted in anger.",Bob hustled off on his errand and found the place the Chief had designated. A few blows with a stone and he had loosened the gate sufficiently to let a big stream of water flow out.,"Good morning, Mr Greyquill," said the young lady, bestowing upon him one of those sweet and gracious smiles with which she favoured nearly all, thus rendering herself as much beloved for her cordial charm of manner as she was admired by the women and adored by the men for her singular beauty of face and graces of person.,THE next morning Billy had a “temperature.” His mother decided against school for that day.
