The instant after, the boat did strike, and Tellef and John were thrown head first onto the smooth beach.,"Well, as I say, I shall soon," returns Mona, brightening, "because Geoffrey has promised to teach me.",All the excited nerves in his body that had been resting were tingling again. He could feel his temples throb, count the beats of his heart. For a time nothing happened. He heard no different sounds, though he strained his ears nervously. The moments passed and seemed hours. He crouched motionless, but his stillness was not repose.,Bob dug in the blades of his oars with all the force he could muster. The boat lost a little headway but the effort came too late. The current had them in its grasp. A quick rush in the blinding spray and the boys found themselves in the icy water. Bob, however, had kept hold of one of the oars of the overturned boat and he thanked his stars that Jerry had had the foresight to tie it to the oarlock.，And if the girls don’t love me now，"Well, I think he is really interested now from the way he spent most of his time with her down at the hotel the other night, and I have hopes I never had before.

And Tom's mother looked at me over the orange-peel as to a confederate.，Sad strains are faintly heard to swell:Billy knew exactly what he was going to hear at Sunday School, and what he was going to see, and there wasn't much of interest in that for a live boy.

"I consider I have been the means of preventing a public calamity. Why, that bird might have haunted us later on.",“Jiminy whiz! This is my very last week of boy; next week I’ll have to be a man,” he said gloomily.,"No, no, I didn't mean that," returned Bruce hastily. "I was thinking of something else.","We have followed and found you, sir," were Captain Acton's first words to Mr Eagle.,"What did you find there?" Billy's tone of impatience brought the old man out of his musing.,"I wonder what they are like, and if they'll like us," mused Elinor, her gaze on the fire that was snapping on the hearth in Miss Jinny's room where the sewing was being done.,"Or murder the man formerly engaged to her," retorted Etwald, with a pale smile.
