He was warm and red, but beaming. “Come soon again, everybody!” he called out.,"Please sir, don't whip her," he said, pleadingly. "I'll own up. It was me that put the sulphur in the stove.",“Sure! Take care of the truck, will you?” He dropped his burdens to Jean’s willing hands, and darted forward.,“And instead of taking the examinations for Harvard and then going fishing with me, you want to go out West and work on an engineering corps all summer. After that, what?”，"No, Mr. Alymer, I don't hate you," replied the doctor, in a colorless tone. "Do you believe in palmistry?" he asked, suddenly.，“Yes. Isn’t it interesting, Aunt Grenertsen?

Left alone, the major closed the window, bolted and barred the shutters, and then hastened back to the death chamber, where he rang the bell. In a few minutes the footman, half-dressed and half-asleep, made his appearance; then came the policeman hastily from the kitchen; finally, as the bell still continued ringing, all the other servants, male and female, poured into the room.

That’s all. I reckon I found out what you wanted, didn’t I?”,“Geegustibus! You kids are doin’ a fine job,” Billy encouraged, as he walked by the line of little bending, sweating backs. “There never was a railroad built on the square like this. Contractors on time; men a-workin’ that’s got brains an’ ain’t afraid to use ’em. Jiminy crickets, it’s fine!”,"Hush," cautioned Patricia, using her eyes industriously.
