Strange or mysterious

Strange or mysterious somehow mildly reminded him of his mortality. “Take care ole boy, you’ll trip on yer lip in another minute.”,"Yes, he's a wonder," he said, cracking nuts studiously. "I hope he's as good on breakfasts as he used to be.",“You want to help the Big Boss?”,“Oh, don’t wait for me,” Billy exclaimed, opening his eyes suddenly; “you won’t catch ’em! The fire’ll get there first! Hurry! Leave me alone, I tell you!”,"Molly," he said, standing off and looking at me with shining eyes, "you are one lovely dream. Your cheeks are peaches under cream, your eyes are blue forget-me-nots, and your mouth a red blossom. Come on before I lose my head looking at you." I didn't know whether I liked that or not, and turned down the light quickly myself and went to the gate hurriedly. Tom laughed and behaved himself.，Mrs. Wopp drew the green curtains together and turned to the smallest girl in the class.，"You got as far as the pond!" Hinter cried in wonder. The eyes turned on Billy's face were searching. "And you found only a long shallow of stagnant, stinking water, I'll be bound," he laughed, uneasily.，"I beg your pardon," she manages to say. "Of course had I known you were listening at the door I should not have said what I did,"—this last with a desire to offend.They are the Carsons, mustered in force, and, if anything, a trifle more noisy and oppressive than usual.

“Come with me, Billy; I must wash up. I’ve had a dusty drive up Spring Mountain; you know the roads aren’t watered up there.”,"Without a reason! I don't believe it.",She shook her head.

So, you see," smiling bravely, "we get along splendidly.",He scarcely dared to speak, so very risky was the walking; but when he could take hold of one of the veranda posts, he called:,"Yes," she said softly. "I know him perhaps better than most folks do. I am not surprised that he can handle these dogs, Mr. Hinter.",Patricia's eyes narrowed. "I believe I'll make my candy up in as attractive a way as I possibly can, and I'll spring it on them first thing, so they'll be in too good a humor to want to haze me very hard. Don't you think that might work for you, too?",On the middle of the rustic bridge before mentioned he stops her, to say, unexpectedly,—,"Oh, to think Geoffrey should marry 'a good girl'!" she says, weeping sadly. "One would think you were speaking of a servant! Oh! it is too cruel!" Here she rises and makes for the door, but on the threshold pauses to confront Sir Nicholas with angry eyes. "To hope the wretched boy had married 'a good girl'!" she says, indignantly: "I never heard such an inhuman wish from one brother to another!",After a few airy nothings of salutation and the like had been exchanged and all were seated, Captain Acton said: "Lucy, I am now to introduce Mr Lawrence to you in a new character; he is the captain of the Minorca.","Sir William Lawrence has nothing to do with my affairs.","I regret—" begins Lady Rodney, stonily; but Mona by a gesture stays her.,"Answer me," persists Mona, not heeding—nay, scarcely hearing—his last speech.
