"You're doin' your best by Billy, I know that right well. And Billy is rather a tough stick of first-growth timber to whittle smooth and straight, I know that, too.

He held in his hand the branch of roses which he had brought for Beauty. "Take them," he said, as he gave them to her, "your unhappy father has paid dearly for them." And then he told his family of the melancholy adventure that had befallen him.，"I am talking to you," said Mr Lawrence, with acid contempt, "not to gather your opinion of Captain Acton and of such instructions as he may have given me, but to acquaint you as an officer of this ship with such facts as I collected from Captain Acton's conversation, which must presently become the property of the whole crew.

Here, take a squint through the telescope and see for yourself. The top of this wall is more’n halfway to the top of the canyon.”,"Enjoying myself?—No, I never do that," says Rodney, with unexpected frankness.,“A dwarf like me would not be wanted at that fine place,” said poor Katrina.,Soon some people came to meet them and said, "What is this? Why are you mourning? Where is your husband?",Captain Acton was silent for a few moments. He then said: "My dear friend, have you reflected upon all that your son's return to England must signify to him?","Ay, your honour," answered the fellow with a grin decidedly above a clown's intelligence.,“Of course, Dad, I don’t mean to go until we’ve had a chance to see each other. If you could only come out to Crossways for the next week or two it would be great! That way, we could visit and still I could get out on the job just as soon as possible. I don’t want Whiskers to fill my place just because I don’t show up. But I’ll come up to New York—”,"Quite right, quite right!" broke in Major Jen, heartily.
