Lie down under this tree for half an hour, and by that time I shall be out with the wagon." "Mr. Durham, you have the feelin's of a man for a feller," said Bagley, gratefully. "I'll make up the time arter it gets cooler." Returning to the raspberry patch, I found Bobsey almost asleep, the berries often falling from his nerveless hands.
"We will just forget all about it, and never speak of it to anyone," promised Jessica, taking the girl's hand kindly. "But I want you to understand that I was right in not going," protested Anne. "Some day I will explain." "Of course you were right," said David, "and I hope you will never be persuaded to go." "Thank you, all, a thousand times!" came gratefully from Anne; "and good night."
When she had found out all that he knew or remembered of the new will, and arose to go, Mr. Sage said he would accompany her to the office.

Tutt rose and laid his arms round old Doc Barrows' shoulders. "Thank you a thousand times," he said gratefully, "for the securities. I'll be glad to keep them for you in my vault."
