Carnegie charged me with innumerable kind words for you Jack wants you to go home before he goes to sea Willie and Tom want you to make tails for their kites Miss Buff will send you a letter soon Mr. Wiley trusts you have forgiven him his forgetfulness of your message." "Oh no, I have not. He lost me an opportunity that may come again I know not when," said Bessie impetuously.
Playing ball, of which there are many different games, and flying kites, employ a large proportion if not all of the muscles of the body, in such a manner as is likely to confirm the strength, and greatly improve the health. The same may be said of skating in the winter, and swimming in the summer. But these last are exercises over which the mother cannot, ordinarily, have very much control.

The Tremletts insisted upon the whole party going up the hill; it was too damp below.
The far-famed Yugyo Shonin, of the temple of Fujisawa in Kagami, who traveled constantly in Japan to preach the law of Buddha in all the provinces, chanced to be passing over the moor Uwanogahara. There he saw many crows and kites flitting about a grave. Drawing nearer, he wondered much to see a nameless thing, seemingly without arms or legs, moving between the pieces of a broken tombstone.
