"What does he look like, Irene?" they chorused. "Men are no judges." "He is tall, and dark, and broad-shouldered," Miss Trevor enumerated, as though counting her stitches, "and he has a very firm chin, and a straight nose, and " "Perfect!" they cried. "I had an idea he was just like that. I should go wild about him. Does he talk as well as he writes, Mr. Allen?"
It sounds rather preposterous, too a wagon-load of gold and silver plate, altar ornaments, candlesticks, jeweled cloths, and all that. It does sound sort of romantic, doesn't it?" "I should say it did!" the girls chorused. Nan did not say another word in comment at the time. She was enormously curious about what she had overheard the Mexican girl say in the shop at Adminster.
The worthy magistrate entered, and commanded the noise to be stopped in the name of the law, at the same time inquiring who was the proprietor of the house. "Brochet is!" chorused a hundred voices. Now Brochet was the surname of a certain fascinating cocotte. "Well," said the good mayor paternally, "I should like to speak to M. Brochet." "That's me!" shouted the same hundred individuals at once.
"What are you going to be, Judy?" "I'm not sure," said Judith slowly, "but I think I'd like to be a teacher." "A teacher?" chorused the other two in surprise.

"That's an elegant instrument," was her observation, as she flicked an imaginary speck of dust from the case. Polly opened the lid, saying: "Just what Echo wanted."

"Well, that's over, thank goodness!" sighed Cora, as she saw the baggage safely off. "Now to get ourselves ready for morning. You girls will take supper with me." "Oh, that's too much," protested Belle. "No, really it isn't. I've told mamma, and she is counting on you. But I'm too excited to eat much." "So am I," chorused the others.
"At least you must admit that I'm a conscientious officer," was her mother's reply. "To change the subject, would you like to go shopping with me this afternoon?" "Oh, yes," chorused the two.
