"Doris Leighton copied Elinor's design, and put it in ahead of Elinor! I know all about it, and I'll tell Miss Green and the whole committee, too, if I have to!",Hinter's sigh of relief was inaudible to the boy. "That's a good resolve," he commended. "Stick to it; that swamp is a treacherous place.","What was it all about?" asked Patricia, much diverted by the picture of the mournful monitor facing the dreaded Board.

But it’s so big I’m afraid Buzz will be scared.”，"What's Obi? What's you torkin of?" asked Battersea, rather nervously. "An' ow does yeou know I hev black blood?"，The whistle shrilled up the narrow valley, echoing back and forth from the steep green hills that bounded it."Gee! how am I to know; it's right here somewheres, though."
