Keep a-going, keep asking questions, keep our eyes and ears open, and keep up our courage." "Your plan is certainly 'for keeps, as we children used to say. Come along. Your plan is adopted.

"No, I told Florence, but thought Maude would appreciate the change now, if it took place, if she was ignorant of what influence had been brought to bear on her father." Aunt Ella continued the reading. "Harry and I have been to Fernborough. Alice's brother sent us word that Uncle Isaac Pettingill was dead and we went to the funeral. He had no complaint. He was tired out, so Mrs.
It was near Chester, that modernized reminder of the old Roman days, and on their way to Fernborough Hall. They found it uninhabited. The thatched roof was full of holes and the interior showed the devastation that wind and water had worked. Tall weeds filled the little garden and the general effect was dismal indeed. "It won't do to take Dad a picture of this old shanty," said Tom.
My suggestion is, that you leave the bulk of your fortune to build a hospital in Fernborough, but provide in your will that the mill operatives of Cottonton, or all its poorer inhabitants, if you so wish it, shall be entitled to free treatment therein."

Alice was driven to the well-known house on Mount Vernon Street, in which Aunt Ella had lived so long, but which had lost much of its cheerfulness, and all of its Bohemianism since that lady had gone to England and become Lady Fernborough.

Goldsmith's "Deserted Village" could not have had a better record for unbroken placidity.
