"I don't think he is dead."，“All right then, Bob,” encouraged Mr. Whitney. “Start from the beginning and tell us everything that’s happened.”，The view of this building revived in the mind of the beholder the memory of past ages.

"We didn't find Francis Edward David till the middle of December, and it's now the third week in January. I don't think we've let much grass grow under our feet.",“Naw,” answered the boy, “What’d Mar say? she’d put a tin ear on me.”,"They killed Maurice!","Then it was brave of you to risk climbing that tall tree to frighten that crow bird away," declared Lou.
