I didn't tell her you lived there now, for I didn't know whether you'd want——","My dear young lady," replied the man, blandly, "I must look at you when I address you."，“Why—these are all.”，"You're a wonder, Kendall Major," she broke out. "Here am I all fluffed up and on positive pins and needles over this affair, while you are as calm as a picture. Don't you feel excited? Aren't you wild to hear what it is?"，"Yes, sir, an' hawful female she is!"“Sit here beside me,” said Uncle Isaac. “Thank you very much for this beautiful Christmas present.” The frame stood on a table near the bed.
