"She is so kind and agreeable. Of course, she doesn't associate with everybody, but neither does Margaret Howes nor Griffin either, for that matter. So far from being jealous, she's been specially sociable with me, and I felt quite flattered by it.",“Ugh, how wet I am!” said Johnny, and then,,"I can't tell you.",In the background partly hidden by the gathering gloom, some fifteen men, and one or two women, are all huddled together, whispering eagerly, with their faces almost touching. The women, though in a great minority, are plainly having the best of it.，"Yes, really."，“Hurt?” said the Indian.，"I was down to the lake this evenin'," said the boy, "an' I heard Shipley and Sward talkin' together.
