On the bridge across Levee creek he came up with Elgin Scraff. Elgin was standing with his arms on the bridge rail, looking dejectedly down into the water.,“My boy, you have done a wonderful thing!” he said when Billy had finished. “You must come with me and tell your story again. If it comes out as I think, you’ll earn at least a thousand dollars.”,"It couldn't be Griffin," said Patricia earnestly. "She was too disgusted with it.","Canin'? Me?

Captain Acton bowed to him in silence. Miss Acton cried out:“Gosh! Wisht Betty was here right this minute. Mebbe I’m dyin’. Hope nobody starts twangin’ a harp. My nose is worser’n ever!”

It is ten days later. The air is growing brisker, the flowers bear no new buds.

Sure enough, the lads fell in love, but both with the same woman, a state of things not anticipated by the major, who was too simple to be a matchmaker.,"Swear," said he, "that you will not marry Isabella Dallas until you have discovered and punished the murderer of Maurice.","She is decidedly good to look at, at all events," says Nicholas, shifting ground.

Now lie down, and in a minute or two I shall send Halkett to you with the rose-water.",As soon as the funeral was over, the dukes and marquises of the kingdom placed the big Prince on a throne made of gold and diamonds; he wore a splendid crown on his head, and robes of violet velvet embroidered with suns and moons.
