For my purpose, it is enough to have taken the single case of Burns, the first poet we come to of whose work the estimate formed is evidently apt to be personal, and to have suggested how we may proceed, using the poetry of the great classics as a sort of touchstone, to correct this estimate, as we had previously corrected by the same means the historic estimate where we met with it.
She corrected herself, and for the ancient Indian name that the people of the country use, gave it the official one bestowed in baptism by the church St. Coeur de Marie. From La Pipe to St. Coeur de Marie, eight miles ... Eight and six and then eight. Growing confused, she said to herself "Anyway it is far, and the roads will be heavy."
The last line he wrote, and the last proof he corrected, are among these papers through which I have so sorrowfully made my way. The condition of the little pages of manuscript where Death stopped his hand, shows that he had carried them about, and often taken them out of his pocket here and there, for patient revision and interlineation.
Do you know," continued Walter after a moment of silence, "I never told my father that Tad did that for me?" "You didn't? Why not?" asked Ned, his face reflecting his surprise. "Because Tad made me promise I wouldn't. He's such a modest chap that he didn't want father to thank him, even. So I never did " "He is a queer lad " "That is, I did not until last night," corrected Walter thoughtfully.
Now he's got them all tired out and we'll go in and rip 'em up. You watch!" "There's Marvin going in for Milton," announced Tom. "Say, those chaps haven't made a change in their line-up yet." "One," corrected Harry. "They put in a new right guard last period. They're a funny lot, seems to me. You'd think they were having the time of their lives." "I like that, though," said Roy.

I don't know anybody here and don't know where to begin." "Don't say green," corrected the other. "That's obsolete. Say raw, or that you're a hick, or a come-on. Well, what d'ye want to follow?" "I thought if I could get into some big man's office and work up, I might reach " The other man raised his hand protestingly and his face assumed a sick expression. "Forget it! Forget it!" he cried.
"I have been here nearly seven years," he said and there was a ring of sadness in his voice as he spoke, which he immediately corrected. "If you want to know anything about the place, I can tell you. If you are able to walk, I can show you some lovely spots, where you will not be bothered with people. I can take you to a snow fairy-land.

"But it is so lonely up here no," Cologne corrected herself, "you are right, of course, Dorothy. She will be back just as soon as she feels like coming. That's Tavia!" But they little knew the danger to which the younger girl had unwittingly exposed herself.
"In New York, also," asked Claire proudly, "are you directeur of the electric lights?" "On Broadway alone," Billy explained reprovingly, "there is one sign that uses more bulbs than there are in the whole of Hayti!" "New York is a large town!" exclaimed Claire.
