"Last time we had sausages," said the eight-year-old Muriel, "they melted in your mouth." Mr. Porter glowered at her. "Instead of in the fire," said the eldest boy, with a mournful snigger. "If I get up to you, my lad," said the harassed Mr. Porter, "you'll know it! Pity you don't keep your sharpness for your lessons! Wot country is Africa in?"
"There will be eight-year-old Ronald MacDonald to climb and ride and sail with our Billy; and there will be little Penelope who is named for me, and will be Francie's playmate; and the new little boy baby " "Proba'ly Aunt Francie's new boy baby will grow up and marry our girl one," suggested Billy.
At last the army and fleet were ready. On July 12, 1338, Edward appointed his son, the eight-year-old Duke of Cornwall, warden of England, and a few days later sailed from Orwell on a great ship named the Christopher. A favourable wind quickly bore the royal fleet to the mouth of the Scheldt.
Sammy!" she called to her little eight-year-old son, who was playing on the kitchen porch, "you go out and tell pop Tillie she's got sick fur me, and I'm leavin' her lay a while. Now hurry on, or he'll come in here to see, once, ain't she home yet, or what. Go on now!" Sammy departed on his errand, and Mrs. Getz diligently resumed her potato-paring.

He armed with His eternal pains and penalties, and eight-year-old Joan: the creature that He had made in His Own Image that He could torture and destroy. Hell yawned beneath her, but it had to be said. Somebody ought to tell Him. "You are a wicked God," Joan told Him. "Yes, You are. A cruel, wicked God."
In the percept or idea the judgment is active; it connects, compares, it discriminates between relations not perceived by the senses. That is the whole difference; but it is a great difference. Nature never deceives us; we deceive ourselves. I see some one giving an ice-cream to an eight-year-old child; he does not know what it is and puts the spoon in his mouth.
"Yes, grandpa, when I know how to swim and row and sail yes," chuckling at the expression of exaggerated surprise which her listener assumed, "and sail, too, I'll be so happy!" "Oh, come now, an eight-year-old baby!" "I'll be nine in five weeks, nine years old." "Well," Mr. Evringham sighed, "that's better than nineteen."
In ages they ranged from the eight-year-old little warrior up to Adam and Alice, the two eldest, who were both turned sixteen. School was over at 5 p.m., and then the workers fell to their duties, and the non-workers went forth to play.
Oh, Mammy, don't! You'se a-killin' me!" came in a high shriek. Then there was a sudden dash for the cabin door, and an eight-year-old colored boy scurried down the path like a little wild rabbit, as fast as his bare feet could carry him.
