She stopped the boy’s noise, and cuddled the bereft one once more. “What is it, child? You are to be brave, you know.”,"Who'd you say was agoin' to soon die?" Mrs. Keeler put her hand to her ear and leaned forward.,"Yes, but did you so much as hint at what awful things I'd have to live through here? Not you! Did you tell me that an old miser 'ud die and his ghost ha'nt this neighborhood? Did you tell me that blindness 'ud strike one of the best and most useful young men low? Did you tell me," she ran wildly on, "that the sweetest girl in the world 'ud be dyin' of a heartbreak? Did you tell me anythin', Tom Wilson, that a woman who was leavin' her own home folks, to work for you and your son, should a' been told?"，Betty Wopp was gambolling along the road with other little school-girls and heard the jeers addressed to the wretched boy.

We must get up there before the fire gets down. Do you know the shortest way?”,"Well, maybe that ain't stealin' it, but if it ain't what would you call it, Willium?",From here he went on again, and after a time he came to a big camp.
