She had lost almost all her fear of the monster, but she almost died of fright, when he said, "Beauty, will you be my wife?","If—if you loved a fellow, would anything turn you against him?" asks he, suddenly, looking her full in the face.,Johnny Blossom suddenly found something the matter with his shoestring. His face was very red when he straightened up again, saying, “How provoking shoestrings are!”,“You know she never does nothin’ to us really, Moses, no matter how she jaws. Come on, you clipped yer pony so lovely an’ evenlike. The horse-clippers is bangin’ on the wall behind you.”，"You were right," said the young man.

The glass sank in his hand, and he rubbed his naked eye and fastened it again upon the Harbour. The vessel was to sail at half-past twelve, and it was now about a quarter past ten, and the Minorca was gone. The old gentleman took aim with his glass at the little breadth of sea that was in sight, in a hopeless way conceiving that a sail, invisible to his bare vision, might leap into the lenses out of the distant blue recess, and proclaim herself to his nautical eye as the ship that was gone.

"It makes even me feel as though I could turn off masterpieces instanter. Merely to look at those lumps of clay in the modeling room made me simply ache to get my hands into them.

You're a perfect duck, Norn, to let me tag along after you here.","It was true," says Mona: "I was writing letters for Geoffrey.",Croaker considered this last statement a moment. Then he carefully raised one foot and twisted half way around on the bar.,“I can always make use of a fellow like that,” said the Chief when Bob had finished his story. “Tell him for me that he can have a job whenever he can take it.”,"I have no card but my name is Geoffrey Rodney," says the young man, turning to his companion.,"Well, I will go," he says, "on one condition,—that you come with me.",A real love-letter ought to be like a cream puff with a drop of dynamite in it. Alfred's was that kind. I felt warm and happy down to my toes as I read it, and I turned round so that old Lilac Bush couldn't peep over my shoulder at what he said.,That it was a crime he was certain, for there was no reasonable idea to suppose that Maurice had committed suicide.

Undoubtedly the twice-uttered cry had come from Maurice, and as Jen had raced out of the house after the first time he heard it, he must have reached his boy almost immediately after he died; before, so to speak, the body had time to grow cold.
