When "She reasons exquisitely well!" exclaimed the Admiral, slowly and dolefully wagging his head.,"Lots of time for it," said Patricia, yawning and flinging herself down on the wide couch. "The men aren't through in there for more than an hour yet.",What really ailed Moses was the prospect of bolstering up the pipes again.,"Take your seat," commanded the teacher. "Next boy forward!" One by one the boys walked up to receive their punishment. All took it bravely.,“Yes, very well.”，"Well, you'd best come quick, then. You'll be gettin' enough hidin's today—if that new teacher's any good—without me havin' to wear my arm out on you 'fore breakfast."，"Yes. To ask if I would see her mistress; a most unnecessary question."，“And the water of the reservoir would cover how many acres?”“Are you sure, my boy? I’ll go with you—”

"'I'll give you five dollars if you'll catch them weasels that are killin' my chickens,' he says.,"Here, miss,—in the dairy? Law, Miss Mona! don't",In overalls, the color of which was entirely unrecognizable, Moses began to help his father carry through the house sooty lengths of pipe.
