Sheener said hotly: "He don't owe me a cent." "I know. But how much have you spent on him?" "If I hadn't have give it to him, I'd have blowed it somehow. He needed it."

So pay what you owe at once, or I'll call that officer across the street and tell him what I know, and have you put where you belong." "I'll see you blowed first!" gasped the Object.

An' that old chap we saw sittin' on the roadside weepin' 'is eyes out 'cos the farm an' the fruit-trees 'e'd spent 'is life fixin' up was blowed to glory b' Jack Johnsons. We 'ave seed some rummy shows 'ere, 'aven't we? Not but what this ain't a pretty fair sample o' wreck, he continued critically.
"What happened?" asked Mr. Bobbsey, while one of the men who stay inside the Monument at the top, to see that no accidents happen, came around to inquire if he could be of any help. "It's Flossie's hat," explained Mrs. Bobbsey. "She was taking it off, as she said the rubber band hurt her, when a puff of wind came along " "And it just blowed my hat right away!" cried Flossie.
And if mamma was very cross, Polly would escape. But during the long hours of the night the breeches-maker could not escape; and in minor matters the authority lay with her.
