In reviewing this story, we perceive a singular and striking instance of moral retribution. We learn, also, that those who do only THAT WHICH IS RIGHT, endure nothing in misfortune but a trial of their virtue, and from trials well endured derive the surest claim to the protection of heaven.，“That is all I can stand now,” he said. “It is too wonderful.”，"She don't know how awful lonesome it is settin' still so long," sighed Maurice, casting an appealing eye on Billy's mother. "I wisht you'd ask her to let me go as far as your place with you, Missus Wilson," he pleaded, lowering his voice. "Billy kin trail 'long back with me an' see I don't cut up any."，“You romp!” came the disgusted voice once more. “You’d better cut your hair, and your skirts, and be a child again.”"Prove!" retorted Jen sharply, "simply that it was dropped there by that black fiend after she had killed Maurice."

It was the thought of Tellef Olsen’s fishing rod that he had broken to smithereens—Tellef’s, who had to go fishing every day or his mother and the children would have nothing to eat; and of the jacket all split, too,—the only one Tellef had.,The woman called again, "No, no; do not go on; come now and wrestle once with me.","What does she want to see me about?" asked Jen, coldly.,Still, living with him might have adventures. I never saw such eyes! The girl he wanted to marry died of turberculosis, and he wears a locket with her in it yet. I'd like to reward him for such faithfulness. But then Alfred's been faithful too!
