Yet no incongruity of dress could disguise the refined beauty of her face, or of her uncovered hair.,This was a poser for Mrs. Wopp, who was obliged to admit that her knowledge of biblical genealogy did not embrace the immediate relatives of Jonah.，“Not yet, but they must all go to-night.”，“My conscience! You can’t eat all—” May Nell stopped, conscious of an unkindness.

“Oh that is a little girl visiting us. My wife’s cousin is spending a week in Calgary and has brought an animated bunch of Alberta sage-brush with her.”,“Wot’s the use of livin’ if Betty grows them there wings they talk of?” he demanded of the fowl as they scurried from his path.,“Three you should say.
