"That reminds me we are bound to go over there to-morrow. At least, some of us.",“Hello, Bob,” was his greeting. “Just got back from up river.

And if another boy jumps on you first, and you don’t fight back, no matter how big he is, I’ll lick you then.’”,"Listen, Ma," said Billy gently. "That old Johnston was awful mean to us kids, there's no mistake about that. He whipped us fer nothin', an' what's worse, he was always sneerin' at us fer being low-born an' ignorant, an' that meant sayin' things ag'in our folks. But we was willin' to stand all that, cause we'd promised Teacher Stanhope that we'd do our best to put up with the teacher in his place. But, Ma, if you could'a seen that poor ol' horse, so starved that every rib showed like the ridges in your wash-board, lookin' over that school-yard fence at the long grass an' beggin' with his hungry eyes fer jest a bite—"，“Yes; but—oh, Billy, it’s awful to have to grow up and be proper. I begged mamma not to put my dresses down, but I’m past thirteen, and big as she is. And—”，Landon went on slowly to the kitchen. With his hand on the door-latch he paused and a smile lit his seamed face. Above the clatter of dishes came a girl's sweet soprano:，"Mother, Violet has promised to marry me," he says abruptly.

"My poor lads," said he, in a voice full of pathos. "First one and then the other--to lose them both in this awful fashion.",“This here flower aint a mornin’-glory, but the leaves is mighty like it, an’ the flowers is jist as purty.” Moses explained.,"Arrest Dr. Etwald! On what grounds?","Spring comes slowly up this way","I do not understand," she says, very proudly, throwing up her head with a charming gesture. "And, talking of forgetfulness, do you know what hour it is?","I wonder when you will adore any one, Nolly," says Geoffrey, idly.,"And you, too," he whispered. "With all this, I have you, too.",Now, really, this was what Kŭt-o-yĭs´ was looking for. This was what he was doing in the world, trying to kill off all the bad things. He asked these people just where this woman lived and how it was best for him to go so that he should not meet her.

Mrs. Wopp had never forgotten a certain missionary service, during which she had studied a text in gold lettering of old English type on the wall.
