"You needn't think you can surprise us, young lady!","What a strange name yours is!—Nolly," says Mona, presently.,Gracious! how that boy had yelled! Well, a good pommeling was just what he deserved. It was rather a pity, though, that there had come a great split in his jacket and that his fishpole had got broken to bits in the fight.

People said that at Tellef’s house they ate fish for breakfast, dinner, and supper, and that they had scarcely anything else to eat. Ugh! That must be tiresome! There was nothing so horrid when one came home from school very hungry, and shouted at the kitchen door “What are we going to have for dinner?” as to have Olea the cook say “Codfish.” And think! That was about all they had to eat down in Tellef’s shanty.,"Oh pity sake!

Then, resentfully, "Do you hate me?"“A new kind of hen,” retorted Moses.

At this extraordinary speech, Lady Rodney stares in bewilderment.,“Must of warlked in when I left a jint outside fer a minute. She shore is a dark complected bird now.” As Moses spoke he stretched out his arm for the sooty Tillie, but with an indignant cackle the hen tore through the dining-room into the kitchen with Moses and Betty in hot pursuit.,"I should think it a long journey," says Mona, shaking her head.,“Why, yes. Then we fought each other, you know.”,His face is slightly flushed, his whole manner full of importance.

They were sure to be wonderful presents, those Uncle Isaac sent!,“I don’t know what’s the matter,—I’m drowned, I guess.” His teeth rattled, and the hand he put out to her was icy cold.,Bruce laughed good-naturedly as he shook hands.,"'In the midst of life we are in debt,'" says Nolly, solemnly.
