The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it. 'I believe you are right, said the gentleman who had told the story.
In so doing nothing particular was remarked of them; and my brother, by way of an entertainment before bed-time, told his companion of my grandfather's adventure in Paisley, the circumstantials whereof are already written in this book; drawing out of what had come to pass with him cheering aspirations of happier days for themselves.
At all events, my old friend is, as she says herself a happy woman in all probability, happier than if the Cinderella day-dream had actually come to pass in her own comely person. But the transition!
"Father would love to have come," began Connie glibly, but Miss Lady broke in: "I don't think he really wanted to come, Mrs. Sequin.

"But we didn't mean to," came from the little girl. "The boat did it all by itself, and it isn't our fault at all." "That's so," and Bunny smiled now and seemed happier. "I wonder how it happened?" asked Sue. "I guess we jiggled it so much, making believe we were sailing, that the rope got loose," Bunny explained. "And now we're sailing!"

For most men are happier in striving than in possession. And no one has yet decided whether it is better to be among the lean or the fat.
"Read that letter; then you'll see why I'm angry," said Ebenezer Waldstricker to Helen one morning after he had frowningly perused a letter from Madelene.
