"I love to get new ones and see how they work. It's such fun. Like archery practice, when you hit the bull's eye. Only words are somehow different, too.

Only a dime stranger, only a dime!”，"Don't speak to me, you scoundrel, until you tell me what you have done with the body of my boy."，The larger of the two men grunted a surly response and with much pushing and swearing they began to laboriously back out of the blind channel.

"I am one of those people, Mr. Alymer, who can, by strength of will and power of character, obtain power over anyone I wish.",She swept Elinor off the stool, away from the crowded dressing room, and at last found a deserted corner behind a big cast.,"Why, indeed, unless you wished to possess yourself of something in the old room?",“Soldiers!” Bob gasped as the outlines of the men grew clear against the star-lit sky as they topped a near-by ridge. “Cavalry!”,“Oh, New York has very little on us up here,” she said. “What with a cold storage plant and an ice factory, we don’t want for anything.”,"Why should I despise you?" asks she, slowly, opening her eyes.,“I’ve got beyond wondering how far we’ve got to go,” said Jerry fervently. “I just want something to happen. Anything at all would be better than just sitting helpless.”,They came at length to a cottage, where he repeated his enquiries, and learned to his satisfaction that two persons, such as he described, had stopped there for refreshment about two hours before.
