That crow's tryin' to scare her off her nest, most like, so's he kin steal the eggs.","Well, let's hear you, then.","Meanin' outsiders?" questioned Keeler.，Billy thought a moment. "Say, how'd you like to go out in my punt, on Levee Crick? I kin show you some cute baby mushrats an' some dandy black-birds' nests. It's not far away. We go 'cross that big fallow and through a strip o' hardwoods an' then we climb a stump fence—an' there's the crick. It's an awful fine crick, an' plumb full of bass an' pike. Say, will you go?"，"On a golden, Indian summer day like this," she finished and closed her eyes as his arms went about her.，CHAPTER XIV THE LOUISA ANNBilly laid down his knife and fork and smiled reminiscently.

"She didn't anchor off here; water's too shallow. She anchored off Gibson's Grove, five miles up the point. She's on her way back to Cleveland by now.","Will you step into the deck-house, sir," said Captain Acton, "and learn our strange story, which shall not detain you long.","If that's so, Dad has no right to that woods," said Jim.,"No, sir," responded Captain Acton, with his eye at his glass.
