"I remember her visit; but she gave as her excuse that you wanted to see me.","I didn't make up the mare, miss, before comin' out wid ye," he says, mildly, telling this lie without a blush.,“Heavens to Betsey! We’ll do it!”,"In spite of all that has passed, I do entreat you to meet me at three o'clock this afternoon at the river, beneath the chestnut-tree. Do not refuse. Let no shrinking from the society of such as I am deter you from granting me this first and last interview, as what I have to say concerns not you, but those you love. I feel the more sure you will accede to this request because of the heavenly pity in your eyes last night, and the grace that moved you to address me as you did. I shall wait for you until four o'clock. But let me not wait in vain.—P. R.","Then Miss Lucy hasn't been found, sir," said the Captain.，The buffalo were surprised and the magpie was glad, and flew about making a great noise.，“Music? Is there to be music?”，"But," she protested, raising herself on one elbow. "It wasn't true, what Mr. Benton said about your design. Why don't you tell him so, Elinor?""No, you wouldn't," said Elinor, promptly. "They don't allow other people in the life-class rooms. You'd have to go home and see that Judith was all right.

'Twas the burning wreck, I presume?",'You are not ignorant,' said he, throwing himself into a chair, 'of the tender sentiments which your sister Julia has inspired. I entreat you by that sacred friendship which has so long united us, to afford me an opportunity of pleading my passion. Her heart, which is so susceptible of other impressions, is, I fear, insensible to love. Procure me, however, the satisfaction of certainty upon a point where the tortures of suspence are surely the most intolerable.',“Well, but I want some,” answered Tellef from the tree.,Her breakfast finished, Betty sought the company of Moses, who was in a small shed adjoining the kitchen.

It is nearly night now, but to-morrow I will show you the trail to the big water. He lives on the other side of it.","Betcha, I would. Say Maurice," he broke out excitedly, "there's a light comin' through the trees. See it? It's movin'. Must be somebody with a lantern.",Billy unsnapped the tie-strap from Thomas' halter so that he might crop the wayside grass without hindrance and sat down on a log opposite the one occupied by his friends.,"But there must be," insisted Etwald, cruelly. "Alymer died of poison, and it must be proved that such was the case. Then we may learn if he perished from the poison of the devil-stick.
