"Well I wouldn't go so far as to say I know why, but I have my suspicions," she declared. "One thing I do know, it's not 'cause he's so interested in a man sick with the asthma.","I will nurse him," cried Lucy.,"I know the West Indian islands," observed Etwald as they walked into the house, "and this day does remind me a little of the climate there; but it is scarcely hot enough."，"What in the world made you so disagreeable?" she demanded of the unconcerned Judith. "Any blind bat could see that you wanted to be nasty, in spite of your namby-pamby airs."，"A cookie, a nice fat cookie, with a raisin in its centre," coaxed the girl.，"How Rome and Spain would enchant you," he says watching her face intently, "and Switzerland, with its lakes and mountains!"When the first violence of the emotions excited by the late scenes was subsided, he enquired concerning Maria de Vellorno.

“Why?” flashed Bob, quick to take advantage of Jerry’s loosened lips.,"No, I bored it but it belongs to Pennsylvania Scroggie, the man whom you helped defeat the Southern lease ring.",Still, since Billy had broken his resolution of silence, he was feverishly eager to talk.
