All the boys leave their coats in there, because the room is small and hot.”
"What didn’t would be more like it, amigo. Yesterday, well, they got m’ hoss—tried to git me. Only left their mark, though," Anse said, regarding his arm ruefully. "I’ve been wearin’ off boot heels hoofin’ it ever since. Tryin’ to make it back to that there water hole." "Who shot your horse?"

So you see the miracles you were looking out for just now have come to pass!” “Hush, Rakitin,” Alyosha answered with an aching heart. “So you despise me now for those twenty-five roubles? I’ve sold my friend, you think. But you are not Christ, you know, and I am not Judas.” “Oh, Rakitin, I assure you I’d forgotten about it,” cried Alyosha, “you remind me of it yourself....”
Well, he was just reaching for it with his sharp clawy-paws, and Mrs. No-Tail and Nellie were very much frightened, fearing the beast would get them. But just then a man’s voice cried out: “Ah, ha!

"The ways of men cooks is a sealed book to you, I reckon, or you wouldn’t be so unconcerned—’specially in the matter of coffee. All men has got the notion that coffee must be b’iled in a bag, and if they ’ain’t got a regular bag real handy, they take what they can get. Oh, I’ve caught ’em," went on the fat lady, darkly, "b’iling coffee in improvisations that’d turn your stomach."
He did not want to annoy her unnecessarily. “Oh, do let me know!” she said, with much eagerness. “You know how I enjoy them!” “Well,” said the doctor, “not exactly the ordinary kind.
