"But we might take it as his having heard it after eight o'clock."，"In all what you say I agree with you, Tom," answered Mr Eagle, "and I should have thought that Captain Acton was the last man on this earth to have behaved himself in such a way. For my part I have always found him so straightforward that the needle ain't truer to the Pole than he is to his rightful and honourable meaning."，Wilson looked relieved. "I can't make head er tail of it," he said, frowning. "I can't think that Hinter is behind the men in any deviltry.""And," Maddoc resumed, "do you happen to know that he made a will, leaving all he possessed to you?"

Billy stood up. "You'll like it here," he said to the other boy who was watching him, a strange wonder in his eyes. "After you know it better," he added.,“Never min’, Pete, an’ thank you anyways, but sence the lesson’s a hull lot about the sea, I’ll jist write with blue chork.”,When she considered the long and dreadful sufferings of her mother, and that she had for many years lived so near her, ignorant of her misery, and even of her existence—she was lost in astonishment and pity.,"I dare say we'll get at the lord by an' by" says Ryan, untouched.

Besides, it will be an experience; and a man should say 'how d'ye do?' to his tenants sometimes.",Viewing the upturned swill-pail, she suddenly became cynical.,Even as Geoffrey is looking at her, full of tender thought, one of the dogs, as though divining the fact that she is being left somewhat alone, lays its big head upon her shoulder, and looks at her with large loving eyes. Turning to him in response, she rubs her soft cheek slowly up and down against his. Geoffrey with all his heart envies the dog.

Perhaps it is his honesty, and straightforwardness, and general, if inactive, kindliness of disposition.,Oh, dear! How embarrassing it was—perfectly horrid!
