We were almost upset in the sea, you understand; we were nearly drowned.”,CHAPTER II A SHOWER OF FISH,Kneeling down by her, Dorothy lays her head upon Mona's knee, and bursts out crying afresh.,"Oh yes," said a voice.，The others stared at him, and with the skepticism of thoroughly healthy minds refused to attach much importance to Etwald's mysticism. Jen was the first to speak, and he did so in rather a stiff way, quite different from his usual jovial style of conversation.，At this Mona, being a creature of impulse, grows once more pale and troubled.，Soon they heard another person shouting out the feast call, and, going, they entered the lodge of the chief of the Kit-Foxes (Sĭn´-o-pah). Here, too, old men had gathered. After they had eaten of the food set before them, the chief said, "Those among whom you have just come are generous. They do not look carefully at the things they have, but give to the stranger and pity the poor. The kit-fox is a little animal, but what one is smarter? None. His hair is like the dead grass of the prairie; his eyes are keen; his feet make no noise when he walks; his brain is cunning. His ears receive the far-off sound. Here is our medicine. Take it." He gave the man the stick. It was long, crooked at one end, wound with fur, and tied here and there with eagle feathers. At the end was a kit-fox skin. Again the chief spoke and said, "Listen to our song. Do not forget it, and the dance, too, you must remember. When you reach home teach them to the people." He sang and danced. Then presently his guests departed."Sh-h-h! Sh-h-h!" replied the girl in a whisper, looking about her very much frightened, for her bull husband was sleeping close by. "Do not speak so loud. Go back and tell him to wait."

"Why, because they're the very nicest things in the world, of course," she replied spiritedly. "I love to get new ones and see how they work. It's such fun. Like archery practice, when you hit the bull's eye. Only words are somehow different, too. They sort of taste when you say them—sometimes sweet and sometimes tingly and queer, like the Amorites and Hittites," and she giggled at the memory.,"I see it," returned Billy. "I guess I ain't scared of no snakes in these parts.","Very. But for myself I have no voice worth hearing. I sing, you know, a little, which is my misfortune, not my fault; don't you think so?","I may say that horrid speech, but I certainly can't pretend I was bored during our drive, because I am not," says Mona.,"Help! Let my kinship protect me!" exclaimed Tom in alarm, and he pretended to move an inch away from me.,"If I was, how could I ask you to marry me?" returns he, in a tone so hurt that she grows abashed.,Billy started to move away. "I must be gettin' home," he said. "The cows'll be waitin' to be watered.",“Half-sister, step-sister, persister, or sister-in-law—” Jimmy began, when Billy’s frown stopped him, and Bess interrupted with, “He thinks he’s saying something witty: laugh everybody.”,"What?" Billy could scarcely believe his ears.,"Thank you, I will have another cup," Mr. Johnston answered, and turned his eyes back to Cobin.,"Yes. When talking then of supplanting Sir Nicholas at the Towers, you spoke of your project as a 'splendid scheme.' What did you mean by it? I cannot get the words out of my head since. Is 'scheme' an honest word?","It will be very bitter to me," says Lady Rodney..
