"It seems to me that I am leaving my conscience in your keeping; some day I will come to you and ask for it again."
"You'll get your frock all torn, and Molly and Jane will be just mad. You daren't climb, Nora you daren't. You can't catch me Nora you can't." Nora had a quick temper, and Kitty's manner was most exasperating.
SMITH: Oh, I don't know that we're set on buying anything. GRANDMOTHER: The hill above the town? Silas'd rather sell me and the cat. SMITH: But what's he going to do with it?

"I didn't want to disturb you, and Mr. Linton and I wanted to talk after we left General Waymouth," said Harlan. "It's all right if you weren't afraid of me, my boy.
