If he meets one he’ll die of fright.”,"It was the last line," says Mona, in explanation, clearly ashamed of herself, yet unable wholly to subdue her merriment. "It reminded me so much of that speech about tea, that they always use at temperance meetings; they call it the beverage 'that cheers but not inebriates.'

It won't hurt him to stay bundled up until granny comes, will it, doc?","I think I should like your mother," she says, naively and very sweetly, lifting her eyes steadily to his. "She is handsome, of course; and is she good as she is beautiful?","I can't tell you that just now," he said, in a hesitating manner. "But I know it for certain.",“John dear,” said Mother, “you are not to use such expressions.”,“Last November.”,“Put her in my room and give me the Fo’castle; I’ve always wanted to bunk there.”,REALLY, no pleasanter place was to be found than down at Sandy Point, where Tellef lived. The shabby gray hut stood among locust and wild cherry trees on a small green plot, and if you went up on the knoll back of the house you could get a wide view of the glorious open sea.,Captain Acton walked into his house and sought his sister, whom he found alone in the dining-room. She was seated on a high-backed chair knitting. Her own and Lucy's dog lay at her feet.
