"She's so tremendously alive that she must need some play, and if she's only willing, we'll see that she gets it, won't we, Norn?"，"I declare if I ain't a firm believer in fairies after this," she said with frank affection.

You are mine, you are, you are! You are soul of my soul and heart of my heart and spirit of my spirit.,Elinor merely smiled her gentle, affectionate smile, but Patricia rippled out in mocking laughter.,Patricia accepted the help as silently as it was offered, and when he brought her clay and, still mute, showed her how to block the rough clay into a semblance of a human head, she smiled at him with ready gratitude, not daring more for fear of the omnipotent Miss Green.,"To-night!" echoed Jen, starting up.
