Natural American Spirit

Natural American Spirit alone, for he heard the sound of Mrs. Dobson’s movements in the kitchen. "Yes; it was her that called last week," returns her amiable mother-in-law, laying an unmistakable stress upon the pronoun.,Two o'clock! The song dies away, and Mona's brow contracts. So late!—the day is slipping from her, and as yet no word, no sign.,The officer halted his men and after a brief talk with Mr. Whitney gave some orders to his lieutenant. The Chief then turned to Bob.,"He is?" Billy respected the new boy for the nonchalance of his tones. Riches hadn't made him stuck up, at any rate.,“What the dickens do you mean by not reporting this morning? Just because Mr. Whitney is away, do you think you can take a vacation when you feel like it? And King, too; wait till I get hold of him! But what have you got to say for yourself, young man?”，"Canin'? Me? Whatfer?"，"Come home, Mona; be advised by me," says Geoffrey, gently, as the man skulks away, walking in a shambling, uncertain fashion, and with a curious trick of looking every now and then over his shoulder, as though expecting to see an unwelcome follower.，"Snowdrops,—and so soon," she says, going up to Lady Lilias, and looking quite happy over her discovery. "We have none yet at the Towers.""Keep quiet till they get past," cautioned Billy. "Say! we needn't have been so blamed careful about makin' our sneak if we'd knowed your Pa was away from home."

This may be unjust; it is certainly beyond dispute the fact.,"You'll hear," returned Miss Jinny, settling herself with a jerk.,And so they are married, and last words are spoken, and adieux said, and sad tears fall, and for many days her own land knows Mona no more.,"By all means study them, if you are really bent on this tiresome journey. It may do you good. You will at least be more ready to take my advice another time.","Do be still, Miss Pat," she said sedately. "We've waited two whole days already—five minutes more won't hurt us.",“They’d look purtier, Glory, ef you’d put more colors in,” commented Mrs. Wopp.,Elinor was already half asleep when Patricia suddenly sat up with a mirthful gurgle.,The buffalo were surprised and the magpie was glad, and flew about making a great noise.,This startled Mr. Taylor.,“You won’t need to take a bath after this. If you don’t have about five unexpected ones during the day I miss my guess.”,"You are cruel, cruel, John Moore, and I hate you worse than I ever did before, if that is possible. I'm hungry, hungry to death, and now you've spoiled it all! Go away before I wet this nice crisp bread and jam with tears, and turn it into a pulp I'll have to eat with a spoon. You don't know what it is to want something sweet so bad you are willing to steal it—from yourself!"
