"What makes you care so much about words and names and such like things?" she asked, trying to get at a clearer understanding of her little sister's mental processes.,CHAPTER XXIII. THE RESULT OF THE TRIAL.,"Maurice wanted to marry her.",“All right,” was all he said. “But let’s find the mouth of the tunnel. Hustle up with the grub.”,"Then Dr. Etwald--that horrid, gloomy creature!"，“Please, Mith Wopp, the latht windthorm upthet our hen-houth.”，"When the Stanhopes built their home on the farm, which was then mostly woods, old Scroggie behaved somethin' awful. He threatened to shoot Stanhope. But Stanhope only laughed an' went on with his cuttin' an' stump-pullin'. Scroggie used to swear he'd murder both of 'em, an' he was always sayin' that if he died his ghost would come back an' ha'nt the Stanhopes. Yes, he said that once in my own hearin'.，“Yes, we love our grand old Norway!” Suddenly he stopped short. Think of his whistling in Kingthorpe Park! It was to be hoped that no one had heard. Of course you should be nice and quiet here. It was to be hoped, too, that that ill-tempered watchdog would not come growling along. Not that Johnny Blossom was afraid of him. Far from it! But that dog was so cross, you couldn’t like him.Anson got out of bed, his white legs gleaming in the yellow lamp-light as he tiptoed softly across to Billy's cot and lay down.

Bob lay back in the canoe and merely paddled sufficiently to steer it, letting the lazy current carry him slowly along. Close to the river bank everything was green and fresh looking, but this vegetation did not extend so far that Bob could not see where the green left off and the desert began.,Sir William again asked Captain Acton if he had heard the news.,Their new acquaintance of the corridor stopped at their table as she, too, made her way out.,"Oh, he'll soon get over it," laughed Billy. "We'll find him waitin' fer us farther on.",Billy followed slowly, hoping, fearing, trusting that Croaker's intentions were of the best. The crow was carrying on a murmured conversation with himself, flapping his wings, nodding his head sagely and in other ways manifesting his eagerness to accommodate his master. When he grew tired of walking he flew and Billy had to run to keep him in sight. Straight through the grove, across the green valley and on through the stumpy fallow went the crow, Billy panting and perspiring behind. Straight on to the pine-hedged creek and still on, until the lonely pine grove of the haunted house came into view.,So she goes in, and Geoffrey, closing the door behind her, leaves them together.,He was silent for a time. "Just as you like," he said at length. "If his comin' annoys you, dear, you tell him so.",She motions impatiently with her hand, and Geoffrey, being compelled to it by her vehemence, draws a high chair close to that part of the wall that seems to have claimed her greatest attention.,After his departure, Beauty went back and sat down in the dining-hall, and began weeping herself.
