If he meets one he’ll die of fright.”,"Tom Hughes is an awfully nice boy," she said, slipping a hand into Judith's and Elinor's arm, as they paced the platform, waiting for Miss Jinny's train. "But for pure, sheer adorableness, give me Mr. Hilton, every time. Don't you think he's a perfect duck, Elinor?"，It seemed an eternity till the door was grudgingly opened and a white-faced, gruff boy asked unrecognizingly what she wanted.，He dropped her hand at the obsequious voice of the waiter at his elbow.，“When Moses is growed up, Mar, I think it ’ud be jist lovely fer him to be in the Mounted P’lice.
