And we're going to have such a good time!","I beg your pardon," she manages to say. "Of course had I known you were listening at the door I should not have said what I did,"—this last with a desire to offend.,CHAPTER I,Speedily, however, she recovered herself, and with a dark smile of contempt and pity she was about to deny all, when Jen brought out his last accusation.,"To the old fort?" asks Mona, starting to her feet.，CHAPTER VII.

Didn’t you tell me that the money was only advanced by the Government and that the farmers would have to return it after the water is delivered to them?”“It certainly has,” said Mr. Whitney, “and it seems to me that my thanks are due to everybody.

“Well I only go ’way about onct in a blue moon,” declared Mrs. Wopp, “an’ I feel so unsartin ’bout everything. Here we are a pack of Gadarene swine goin’ orff to a great city to eat husks I s’pose like the prodigal son.

I felt conscience reprove me once more with loyalty looking on in disapproval as I buttoned the old thing up for the last time, because I really ought to have stayed a day longer to buy that monument, but—to tell the truth I wanted to see Billy so desperately that his "sleep-place" above my heart hurt as if it might have prickly heat break out at any minute.,“Didn’t you eat any of them yourself?”,"But supposin' the will can't be found?" Billy looked the other boy in the face and waited for the answer.,Leaf VIII.
