The Haldens, having come from a two-days vacation at Rockham, were full of neighborhood gossip and gave very circumstantial accounts of Greycroft, Hannah Ann and Henry.,“Did ye come through the gap?” was his greeting in a mild, unsurprised tone.,"It would seem so from this veracious history the major is telling us, said Etwald, with irony.,"Tie, nonsense; marrying is roping in with ball and chain, to my mind. And a week between a man and a woman in their cradles gets to be fifteen years between them and their graves. Well, I must go home now to see that Sally cooks up a few of Mr. Johnson's crotchets for supper." And she began to hurry away.,"Did you hear any noise?"，"It's simply heavenly, and I don't know how we got along without it!" she cried, rapturously. "It makes me wild to think of the months we've wasted this fall."，"Good idea," agreed his neighbor. "Here, you best set down and have a cup of coffee and I'll saddle him, myself."，"Speak lower," said the old woman, "or you may be heard.
