Sit down, Mr. Arkel. I suppose you wonder why I have sent for you?","But why, Billy?",They paced for a minute or two in silence, and then Patricia gave a little sigh.,Patricia made a gesture of amused impatience.

"Look here, Uncle Jen, I went to dress at half-past six; you did also. When we left the devil-stick was in the room on the wall. Now we are here again at half-past eight, the devil-stick is gone. In these two hours Dido has had time to cross the lawn yonder and steal it."，"Poor thing, she's done it at last!" cried Patricia compassionately. "Then what happened?"，"Ah!"，"You never know what you can do till you try.

The horizon slightly thickened with some windy change in the atmosphere and with the shadow of the evening. The Minorca under all plain sail heeled into the white smother of spume alongside, and as she sprang crushed the surge with her round weather-bow till the bright brine sometimes leapt like a fountain athwart the forecastle. Mr Lawrence watched her behaviour with attention, and often sent a look at the creaming road of wake which was so brilliant and long that, as the shadow deepened, the tail of it was lost to view.,"How would you manage it, Sherlock?" asked Patricia. "Give us a hint of your method, and we may be able to locate the fiend ourselves.","Do you sing?" asks he, through mere force of habit, as she pauses.,JOHNNY BLOSSOM was walking home from school. He carried his head high; his turned-up, freckled nose was held proudly in the air; his cap hung on the back of his head. Both hands were in his pockets, and his loud whistling waked the echoes as he strode through Jensen Alley. Perfectly splendid monthly report! Of course he knew it, word for word, and he said it over to himself again, as he had many times.,And hath in it the more of heavenly light.,"And you refuse to aid me," said the major, reproachfully; "well, keep your secret, I may be able to do without your help.
