"Don't give me away too hard," he said, in an agreeable voice. "I haven't taken any of your bugs yet. I won't tell on him, Miss Kendall," he added with an admiring glance at Elinor, "although I could make you shudder with tales of his dark deeds.",He swung his book-strap in greeting to his mother while rolling more slowly up the rose-bordered path to the veranda. He thought his mother’s face looked tired; but the smile there welcomed him warmly, and he forgot the tired look with her first words.,“And what’s the ‘chinning’ to be about?” she questioned, sitting on the bedside; “the fortune?”,Then the judge and I both laughed.

But it’s that west wind; she’s a hummer. She can pump faster ’n the old waste pipe can discharge.”,"That's a nice lookin' youngster," remarked Sward, as Billy was lost among the pines.

Dido, who was to depose to the manufacture of the poison, the refilling of the devil-stick, and the giving of it to Dr. Etwald, so that he might perpetrate the crime. With these seven witnesses Jen did not see how Etwald could escape the gallows..
