And am I ever to learn the reason of your extraordinary behavior?",Just before sundown next day they came to an obstacle which at first sight rather daunted them. As they rounded a bend, the most surprising bit of scenery they had so far encountered flashed before their eyes. The canyon seemed to stop, to have no outlet. It was as if they had come into an amphitheater from which there was no escape. Even the way they had come in was not visible.

She, too, flies across the rural bridge into the covert of her own small domain.,“Singe my hair ef I do, let’s hev some more doin’s,” rebelled Moses.,"How would you manage it, Sherlock?" asked Patricia. "Give us a hint of your method, and we may be able to locate the fiend ourselves.",And the soft warblings of the lover's lute.,Luncheon was particularly gay, much to Judith's delight.

Doris Leighton, the pretty girl whom Patricia had so ardently admired on her first day and who had not been visible since then, appeared without her pale companion, and took the table on the other side of them, and when Margaret Howes, at Patricia's entreaty, introduced them, she brought her chair over to their table and made one of their merry party.,"Oh, how pretty!" cries one of them from the shadow as though grieved the dance has come so quickly to an end "How lovely!",“No, that’s why I told you,” said John.,"What does she do?" asked Patricia, delighted with the ease and candor of this speech.
