Nuns were frightfully scrupulous and gimlet-eyed where their charges were concerned. And certainly, if young people never got away together without qu'il ne vous en déplaise! there would be fewer engagements. And Biddy must know that it was a Heaven-sent chance for the girl.
We've been good friends 'n' true through thick 'n' thin, through my father 'n' your son 'n' every other species o' Heaven-sent infliction, f'r years 'n' years 'n' years. 'N' now I ain't goin' to shut you out o' the inside truth o' this awful day.
Was not here a Heaven-sent answer to all her prayers for her beloved? she asked herself, as she looked at the girl.

If it could only be freed from driftwood, and its channel straightened a little, they felt sure it might be used for small steamboats during a large part of the year.
