They would have been altogether too mournful. I'd sooner have R.I.P. at all the corners wouldn't you?" "Maybe I would an' maybe I wouldn't," said Mary. "We needn't be botherin' our heads about it. Larry'll be apt to be puttin' up a tombstone over us when we do go." "Sure what good will that do us over there where nobody knows us?" murmured Dan discontentedly.
And Larry'll come around to it all right. He'll see the sense of it, now that he's older and has had two years to think things over." Old Jimmie nodded, showing his yellow teeth in a sly grin. "You said something a second ago: Maggie and Larry! They'll make a wonder of a team! I mean that she'll work under him with the rest of us. I've been thinking about it a long while.
Sure, Larry'll let us want for nothin' while we live." "Aye, indeed," returned her husband; "I was forgettin' that."

And then, as if he could scarcely bear the sight of her drawn face in the moonlight, he turned abruptly, and went striding down the rocky shore to the strand. Because Tom and Larry had forgiven out of their great love, it did not therefore follow that the shame did not lie heavily on them.
Joel was right; he says you beat everything in running." Porter looked much pleased and glanced down at his legs affectionately. Then he remembered Larry and sobered at once. Doctor Fisher, while going up the steps, said in passing: "Larry'll pull through all right, I think." "She's here," cried Porter suddenly.
