"It was reckoned at eighteen or twenty line-of-battle ships.",Maurice was compelled to quicken his steps in order to keep up to the long strides of the anxious woman. Suddenly he halted. "Missis Wilson," he said, "you fergot to take that last pan o' cookies out'a the oven."，"You see," Billy went on, "maybe the will'll be where the gold is. You be a real good feller an' show me where you found the gold-piece."，Mrs. Keeler, who heard the voice without catching Mrs. Wilson's words, struggled up.

Croaker flew to a tree-top and proceeded to enjoy the reward of service well rendered.，"I don't feel that way at all—" began Judith, but their murmured comments halted at Bruce's next words."Ho! ho!" murmured Maurice, rather taken back.

"If you were rich or even well off, I should never consent,—never!",“What yer whistlin’ so mournful like?” queried his mother, “makes me think of funerals an’ sich like; jist come in an’ help yer par with the stove-pipes, mebbe that’ll cheer you up.”,If men would just make an end of women's hearts in a businesslike way, it would be so much kinder of them. Why do they prefer to use dull weapons that mash the life out slowly? Everything is at an end for me to-night, and that blow did it. It was a horrible cruel thing for him to say to me! I know now that I have been in love with John Moore for longer than I can tell, and that I'll never love anybody else, and that also I have offered myself to him and have had to be refused at least twice a day for a year.
