"If that is all," says Geoffrey, with a light laugh, laying his hand over the small brown one that still rests upon his arm, "I think it need hardly separate us. You are, indeed, different from all the other women I have met in my life,—which makes me sorry for all the other women. You are dearer and sweeter in my eyes than any one I have ever known! Is not this enough? Mona, are you sure no other reason prevents your accepting me? Why do you hesitate?" He has grown a little pale in his turn, and is regarding her with intense and jealous earnestness. Why does she not answer him? Why does she keep her eyes—those honest telltales—so obstinately fixed upon the ground? Why does she show no smallest sign of yielding?,Hardly had he reached a height he felt was safe, when the figure glided swiftly across the clearing and sat down almost in the spot he had just quitted.,At the word "trust" she lifts her eyes and regards him somewhat steadfastly.

"Promised Billy Wilson I'd sit with him," he said. "Kin you tell me where he's goin' to sit?","Dogs and children," repeated the lawyer. "Dogs and children." He stood looking away through the failing light to where a strip of mauve-lined sky peeked through the heavy tissue of cloud.，Supper over and dishes hurried out of sight, the floor was once more cleared and the real business of the evening was resumed.，“Boatmen?” repeated Father, astonished.，Johnny Blossom was so excited that he kept hopping around.

Anything you tell me is going to help. I’ve picked up a little here and there and know some of the details but I don’t really know anything about the general plan.
