Frank held out behind the rest, pretending to be busy with a number of things that fell to his lot as captain of the eleven. He had whispered his intentions to Lanky, and the latter, while laughing at his fears, promised to keep any of the others from returning to look for the leader, should they notice his absence. Watching his chance, Frank dropped behind some bushes.
The 7.45 A.M. train would take you through Norwich to my door, as one may say, and you would be back by the 6.22 P.M." In this way he brought himself back again into good-humour, feeling, that in the absence of the widow, he could not do better than make progress with the niece. In the mean time Mrs Greenow and the captain were getting on very comfortably in the other boat.
On the other hand the absence of all affectation and conventionality, an amount of culture exceptional in a country girl, the freedom of her expressions, the quiet simplicity of her words and looks could not but be striking in her.

Others reached home safely, only to be murdered by relatives who had taken possession of their thrones during their long absence. Only a few among these heroes escaped with their lives, and wandered off to other countries to found new cities. Thus arose many Greek colonies in Sicily and southern Italy, which were called Great Greece, in honor of the country from which the first settlers had come.
Ah, we did not see much of one another after our child's death! I was often from home; and once, when I returned, I found that she was gone: they had buried her in my absence. She died so they said of a broken heart. Poor thing! it is not unlikely." Mr Oliphant hid his head in his hands, and groaned aloud.
