"It isn't correct to show that you are so delighted.",May Nell sat still and smiled modestly. Billy stared at her, feeling still more foolish over his own mistake.,“I guess I’ve been a bear lately, Bob,” he said laughing. “But I’m up against an awfully queer proposition and I don’t yet see just how to tackle it.”,"What time this morning did Miss Lucy leave the house?"，"It was them two who brought Hinter's drillin'-rig 'cross the lake in a schooner. I saw 'em the day they teamed it in. I knowed 'em both an' Pa, I overheard 'em talkin' 'bout hidin' the stolen stuff in the ha'nted house."，"Bill, our punt's gone!"，"In what direction?"He caught his breath and stood with lifted face, as the white light swept it, lingered on it, drew from it reluctantly.

“Pull in to shore, Bob,” he said quickly. “We’d better take a look at what’s coming before we tackle it.”,"I shall tell the master all!" she muttered in her own barbaric dialect, "and he will tell me what to do.

"And the best part of it is that she doesn't know what an adorable dear she is. I hope she gets an honorable mention, even if she can't hit the prize. She deserves a lot of good times, after all those lean years when she took such good care of us.",At last Jerry said with forced enthusiasm, “All right, old man, come along. I reckon there’s another nag for you down at the stables. We’ll go up to old man Holman’s ranch. He asked me to come up for dinner. There’s always an extra place for anyone who stops by.”,“We can’t go back again, can we?” asked Bob. “There doesn’t seem to be anything else to do but to try the tunnel.”,"Sir," says Mr. Rodney, taking no notice of this preamble, "I shall trouble you to explain what you mean by reducing an inoffensive shoulder-blade to powder.",CHAPTER XVI THE CAPTURE,"Why need you go until after Christmas?" she says, in a tone so low that he can barely hear her.,"Like the fool she is," said the doctor, putting on his hat.
