"And why have not two idle boys more time than a busy shopkeeper to do such a thing?" demanded the old man. "Oh, well, you see," explained Roy, confusedly; "grown-up people know how to teach, and boys don't.
I don't like to ask such a thing, my dear, but would you walk a little way?" Of course I got out directly and took his arm. "It ain't so easy to keep your feet," said Mr. Bucket, "but take time." Although I looked about me confusedly and hurriedly as we crossed the street, I thought I knew the place. "Are we in Holborn?" I asked him. "Yes," said Mr. Bucket. "Do you know this turning?"
Dorothy watched John closely, and when he was ready to mount she struck her horse with the whip, and boldly rode to the well. "May I ask you to give my mare water?" she said. "Certainly. Ah, I beg pardon. I did not understand," answered Sir John, confusedly.

"Oh!" was Peggy's only exclamation, and there was a shadow of disappointment in her eyes. "Come in, Peggy, and I'll read aloud," was Monty's cheerful greeting as he stood before her. "No, I must go," said Peggy, confusedly.

And Aias son of Telamon is driving them; well I know him, for wide is the shield round his shoulders.
Now he found himself in the presence of a beautiful woman, every line of whose countenance told of instruction, thought, spirit; whose bearing was refined beyond anything he had yet understood by that word; whose modest revival of old acquaintance made his hand thrill at her touch, and his heart beat confusedly as he looked into her eyes.
