"Ut's not aven a snake-bite that trinket wud save ye from, let alone a ghost.",“Yes, but I asked him if he thought that was dear.”,"Oh, do tell me about it," said Judith eagerly, settling down on a low stool beside the trunk. "Your stories are always so nice and nippy.","He may be, of course," she says. "But I don't like to see a gay child like you sitting still. You should dance everything for the night."，He smiles, and, turning, kneels before her in mock humility that savors of very real homage. Taking her hand, he presses it to his lips.，To the major's surprise, he found that Jaggard had recovered his senses, and although still weak from his accident and long insensibility, he was able to talk fairly well. Jen was puzzled by this sudden--that is, this comparatively sudden--recovery; and he expressed himself somewhat forcibly to the housemaid Anne, who had been watching for so long by the bedside of the sick man. The woman, with the shrewdness of her class, gave her opinion as to its reason.，“Where are your young men?” he demanded of the Indian.Elinor smiled and pulled Patricia down beside her on the stool.

Lucy bit her under-lip, but certainly the general expression of her face was not one of displeasure.,She picked up the gold piece and, fondling it lovingly, waited until Anson had passed outside.

I’ve had a dusty drive up Spring Mountain; you know the roads aren’t watered up there.”,Captain Acton received Mr Lawrence in his library, a small but very elegant room.

Captain Acton was reading when Mr Lawrence was announced. He immediately put down his book and rose. It would have been easy to see that he was struck by and pleased with the fine figure and handsome face of Mr Lawrence as he strode through the doorway, bowing with dignity and grace as he advanced.
