How came you out here? I thought you’d be watching for refugees.”，"Didn't I!

But where at night had stood the hotel with its many human lives housed within, the next morning’s sunshine fell upon a heap of ruins burning fiercely. A stranger rescued May Nell, though her aunt and cousin had to be left behind, pinned to their fiery death.,"Yes; it was her that called last week," returns her amiable mother-in-law, laying an unmistakable stress upon the pronoun.,The dutiful husband drew from his pocket a long slip of paper and a small stubby pencil.
