"That's a great machine," exclaimed Frank admiringly. "But ours is a better one," expostulated Harry. "That's to be seen, Harry," rejoined his brother, "he's a minute ahead of us now, you know."
She saw no other person; gave heed to nothing save what was to her, righteous indignation. Hearing her footsteps, the young man turned, glancing at her admiringly, said: "Good evening, Miss."

In the arcades of the forest the air retained the freshness of the night. The athletic bearing of the trees, each carrying its leafy mountain, pleased the mind like so many statues; and the lines of the trunk led the eye admiringly upward to where the extreme leaves sparkled in a patch of azure. Squirrels leaped in mid air. It was a proper spot for a devotee of the goddess Hygieia.

Her bosom beat tenderly with, "My dears, my children, my own." "There!" said Ignaty, rising. "You'll remember, then? First you go to Muratov and ask for grandfather."
Elizabeth was all interest. To "pass" and go to the High School in the neighboring town was the grand ambition of every boy and girl in Forest Glen School. "Oh, are you, Charles Stuart? Maybe John is, too." "Yes." He was getting on famously now. "Father says I can. And I'm going to college after." "And what'll you be?" asked Elizabeth admiringly. "I'm not sure," said Charles Stuart grandly.
She never allowed her singing to interfere with more urgent duties; the singing could always wait, and she never forgot just where she had left it, but would come back and pick up at the exact place she had discarded it.

"I guess you can't do much with hands like yours," said she, admiringly, and with an odd tone of resentment, as if she were indignant at the mere suggestion of life's demanding service from this dainty little creature, for whom she was ready to immolate herself. However, Rose had in her a vein of persistency. She insisted upon wiping the dishes and dusting.
