Then he turned eagerly towards them.,"No, Anse, I promised Missus Keeler that me an' Maurice would keep fire under that preservin' kettle till she gits back from the store. I need the ten cents to buy fish hooks with, besides—',"May I have a word with you, sir?" he exclaimed in a coarse, hoarse, broken voice.,Billy pinched off a fox-tail stock and chewed it thoughtfully. "Maybe," he said, cheerfully. "He certainly tapped you some, but then you're always huntin' trouble, an' it serves you right.","Very much indeed, madam. My inclination leans wholly towards the Merchant Service.[Pg 67] I would rather command the Minorca than a line-of-battle ship."，Billy grinned. "An' I got a piece of news fer you fellers, too," he returned. "But go on, your news first, Jim."，"Yes, but did you so much as hint at what awful things I'd have to live through here? Not you! Did you tell me that an old miser 'ud die and his ghost ha'nt this neighborhood? Did you tell me that blindness 'ud strike one of the best and most useful young men low? Did you tell me," she ran wildly on, "that the sweetest girl in the world 'ud be dyin' of a heartbreak?

We've been waitin' here, hopin' we'd hear your whistle. I wonder what time it's gettin' to be?","Mind you," his mother admonished as he followed Mrs. Wilson down the path, "if you come home with wet feet into bed you go and stay 'till snow flies.","Oh yes, thoroughly—very thoroughly.",CHAPTER XII MR LAWRENCE REFLECTS,Billy stood up.
