She sat motionless—stupified and deprived of the power of utterance. The marquis observed her consternation; and mistaking its cause, 'I acknowledge,' said he, 'that there is somewhat abrupt in this affair; but the joy occasioned by a distinction so unmerited on your part, ought to overcome the little feminine weakness you might otherwise indulge.

I didn't think she could be so sprightly."，“Oh, Billy!” she said, despairingly; and he knew in spite of her smile that she disliked his words. “The little girl is looking for you. She is lonely; you must amuse her.”When at last Bob was seated in the automobile ready to start for Engle and the train that would carry him back to the East and college, a great feeling of sadness swept over him. He took a last look at the dam and the myriad activities that clustered around it, and he was sorry that he had to go.

"Ut's a small crack a ghost kin squeeze through, I'm tellin' ye.",“All right,” sang out Jerry. “But I wish we had a lantern.”,Steve Whitney shook his head. “No—but I’ll tell you all about it as we go to the hotel. Grab your satchel and come along.”,“Who were they?”,"Oh!" said the major, in a satirical tone. "You found it? Where?",“By no means. Comparatively few. Thad Holman never knew a thing about it.
