"Sometimes I wonder how "Try him, lover, and maybe he will—will learn to——" I couldn't help the tears that came to stop my words.,CHAPTER VI Johnny Blossom’s Christmas Presents,"You must understand," she says emphatically, "he did not shoot himself purposely. It was an accident,—a pure accident.","I'll teach you to smoke on the sly, you young outlaw, you!","There's a picture for you, Elinor," said David, pointing to the beautiful serrated mass of the great buildings looming misty-blue against the gold. "Can't you remember that, and put it on canvas when you get home?"，"Yes, sir. A traitor to your foster-brother, who was your rival. It is because Maurice loved the woman who hates you that you act the unworthy part of defending his murderer."，"I do not shrink from it," replies she, bravely: "I would brave anything to be friends with your mother."，"All the same, she sees that Kendall Major is about to snatch the laurel wreath from all our heads, and she doesn't want to do without any of her ornaments.""Yes, but he always doffed it; and he never put one on like ordinary mortals, he always donned it. You can't think what a difference it makes."

Once they were out of the house they started in the direction of the Hoyt ranch. “Now, tell me about it,” urged Bob.,"You! At your time of life, brother, going a voyage to the West Indies with every probability of the French making a prisoner of you and Lucy!" cried Miss Acton in the[Pg 108] high key in which she saluted the ear when she was alarmed.,"Not what you'd notice, Ma. He ain't any like Mr. Stanhope. His face—I ain't likin' it a bit. Besides, Ma, he flogs his poor horse somethin' awful.",Hillsboro is a very peculiar little speck on the universe; even more peculiar than being like a hen. It is one of the oldest towns in the North, and the moss on it is so thick that it can't be scratched off except in spots. But when it does get stirred up to take an interest in anything, it certainly goes the pace. It hasn't had any real excitement for a long time, and I felt that it needed it. I rolled over and laughed into my pillow.,Harold turned and looked to where May Nell stood with the twins, sorting her flowers. “Isn’t she a daisy, though? Little—why, she’s only a baby.”,"What spirit, what courage, you displayed! At first I feared you would faint——",Billy removed the coat he was wearing and passed it over to his mother. She turned it inside out, and inspected it closely.,For the second time that morning Mr. Johnston received a violent shock to his dignity. Such rank insubordination he had never experienced before.

When I am through with the girls I shall flog you until you cry for mercy, and with you the boy who threw that bottle.","Only!" cried Miss Acton. "Sir William," she went on slowly, nodding, at him whilst her face hardened, "I have a conviction which my brother does not share. It seems to me, sir, impossible to think of the unexpected and[Pg 204] terrifying departure of the Minorca hours before her time, and the conveyance of a letter by the steward of the vessel, without feeling the conviction I speak of.",The effulgence of Mrs. Wopp’s smile was somewhat obscured by “I told you so’s,” but the aroma of the steaming teapot soon restored its radiance.,“Lady of the Lake?” she finished quickly in a question. “Do you know that, too? I love it.”,“I don’t reckon it would be as bad as that,” answered Whitney. “When Uncle Sam once starts something, he is pretty likely to carry it through. But we’d have a rough time of it all right.
