The room still smelled strongly of sulphur, but one might still breathe and live.,CHAPTER VI “THE TRIUMPH OF FLORA”,"Ah! you know who committed the first of the crimes," cried Jen, seizing the young girl's arm. "Confess. It was Dr. Etwald who stole the wand of sleep.",“Hello there,” said Bob. “What’re you doing up here?”,"I am very glad," says Mona, in a low tone.，“A few scratches and bruises. Nothing much. But I didn’t care; I was free. I walked back to the farm, camped out under a haystack and the next morning showed up for breakfast. Mrs. Olson certainly was good to me while I was there. After harvest she made me stay on and let me go to school.

But will you see Dido or shall I send her away?",Mrs. Bennett spoke frequently of the change in Billy. He was growing more thoughtful, observant.
