I think it is rather too cold for "Jump in here, an' let's get fishin'.",“Gee whiz!” ejaculated Bob. “This is worse than anything I’ve tackled before—ever!”,"Breaks a bone every time anyone looks hard at her," explained the other, shoving the protruding conglomeration of her locker inside and snapping the door quickly on it. "She's more bones than the average, and she breaks them regularly every time she learns the name of a new one. I think she oughtn't to be allowed in the dissecting room for any consideration. She's just out of splints now for a right arm fracture, and, believe me, she worked all the time with her left.",“We can play the first canto, ‘The Chase,’ across the river in the Sunol Creek canyon,” Billy explained, eagerly.,Wilson averted his face and proceeded to straighten the towel on the roller.

He is her son, and of course she loves him, but—as she tells herself—there are some things hard to forgive.,He did laugh, yet was sober again.
