"I'm tired of your deceptive timidity. Just let someone else say you can't do it, and you'd feel mighty mad about it, but you're willing to scare me out of my feeble senses by croaking."“You romp!” came the disgusted voice once more. “You’d better cut your hair, and your skirts, and be a child again.”

"What do you suppose he's saying?" as the squirrel broke into a shrill chatter.,"Arrived this noon. Have I your permission to come to Hillsboro immediately? Answer.

"That would be too much even for our times.",But after a time Jethro grew very tired of playing with a dilapidated shoe, a shiny bone, a grimy dish-mop and other erstwhile interesting things, and he thought it would be delightful to make friends with Nancy and play with her.
