Afore she could get over her surprise, I had her an' her family in the tin pail I had with me, an' the cover on. By rights I should'a killed the whole caboodle of 'em, I s'pose, 'cause they're mighty hard on the birds; but I had work fer 'em to do.,"Yes, but we are all so different from the English.

It was late but Frank Stanhope was standing beside the white gate, his arms folded on its top, his chin upon them.,“Nope,” said the other. “Dad don’t want me to be a cowboy. I wouldn’t mind that much. He wants me to be a farm hand! Nix on that! I wish I could go up to the dam. That’s regular work. Reckon I could get a job up there?”，“Reflection from the fire box of an engine on the smoke that passes over.

May I have a little more of your beautifully cooked meat?”,"I'm not asking you for any opinion, nor will any view that you can take concern me.
