"Say, Bill," said Maurice, as they paused to rest on the top rail of the fence, "do you 'spose we best tell our dads about seein' them men?","Oh, Bruce, the sycamore you painted is gone!" called Patricia, not turning. "Come and see!","After a little we saw a light 'way out on the lake. It stayed where it was an by an' by we heard oars. A boat landed an' a man Hinter called Cap'n, came across to where he sat by the fire.",Dido opened and shut her hand convulsively.,"I can't at present. The police are in the house; there is a lot to be attended to. Tell your mistress, Dido, that I will see her to-morrow."，Go an' gather in a snake—'，"I'm growin' fifteen," said Billy gravely.
