Bruce was much elated over the progress of his pupil, and prophesied great things for Elinor in time. He even went so far as to promise that the stained glass window for which she had made a cartoon should be executed and put in the little Rockham church.,Wide—wide the phantoms swell the loaded air，"It is very strange," says Mona, with a dissatisfied sigh, "but I'll tell you all about it by and by."，So saying, he embraces her warmly, and, running downstairs, jumps into the dog-cart, and drives away behind the "vicious Black Bess."，“That’ll be great,” said Bob, his face glowing. “But go ahead about this dam. I’m learning more than I have all the time I’ve been here poking around by myself. It ought to make a pretty big lake when once the water is dammed up, shouldn’t it?”"Mrs. Dallas," said David, faintly. "It was Mrs. Dallas."
