At the first glimpse of sunshine they all came to sit out beneath the shade of the screen upon old cane chairs, and it was the most animated place in the town.

He took a chair and seated himself by the bedside of the patient, and for the first time took a good look at him.

She was thinking of her distant Kentucky home, and a half feeling of homesickness crept over her, as she thought how joyfully she would be greeted there, should she ever return.

The word Fanny had a power to open the fountains of that mother’s heart.
"Well, Dad, how are you?" cried Dick, as he greeted his father at the family mansion in Hamilton Corners. "Fine, my boy! There's no use asking how YOU are, I can see you are fine!"

I let them have the run of the place, and they've been busy ever since they came.
