You tell him he'll have to wait around here till you get back. He'll do it, all right. There he comes through the grove now. Better crawl back to where Ma left you.",For Tellef he would buy some dates—they were so good—and with this settled, all his presents were planned.,“Let’s give the old fellow our air mattress. We won’t need it any more and maybe he would like it.”,"Haven't we had a gorgeous time?" she said, thoughtfully. "I didn't realize that we could enjoy ourselves so much for such a long time.

But Clarence especially,—he’s my son, you know.” Billy grinned.,“No, we won’t!” came a dozen voices.,The public prosecutor thought that the interruption of his learned friend was out of place; as the refusal of Mrs. Dallas--"mother, gentlemen of the jury, to the young lady engaged to the deceased gentleman, Mr. Maurice Alymer"--had nothing to do with the actual facts of the case.
