The same night found him installed in the colonial house from which the great plantation of Crossways had formerly been managed. Now the plantation was a thing of memory only. Only the house and comparatively few cultivated acres remained of the once proud estate. Edward Moseley, the last of a long line, kept a school, which, primarily started for the benefit of his tenants’ children, had become so famous that boys from all parts of the country were now enrolled.,“If you find that the work is not as much fun as you expected, will you come back and tell me so? You won’t stick it out just as a matter of pride?”,"Yes, long ago," says Geoffrey, with animation. "Quite an hour ago.",Maurice stood up. "Well, as there's no need to keep watch here, maybe I best trail along home. Anse'll be gettin' tired waitin' fer me."，"It's the best ever," she declared. "I'll 'wagger,' as Hannah Ann says, that you lift the medal."，"Dear Lady Rodney, I shouldn't take that so much to heart," says Violet, gently leaning over her.

The marble pavement was in many places broken, the walls were mouldering in decay, and round the high and shattered windows the long grass waved to the lonely gale. Curiosity led him to explore the recesses of the mansion. He quitted the hall, and entered upon a passage which conducted him to a remote part of the edifice. He wandered through the wild and spacious apartments in gloomy meditation, and often paused in wonder at the remains of magnificence which he beheld.,"My darling, why?",Then, in a flash, he knew he wasn’t beaten! Far from it. As he yanked off his coat he muttered savagely to himself.,"He explained how my poor Maurice was killed.",“Was it a close shave?” he asked as Bob sat up.,"Yes, I am—if I ever go there," returned Patricia with great spirit.
