"Things have been terrible here," said the man; "a terrible battle was fought all around," and he waved his arms significantly. "Let's get out," said Bob. "I see some trenches over yonder. I remember reading about an engagement here." A few minutes later they were face to face with evidences of battle. The whole country-side was devastated.
"A long way off? Nonsense! I won't wait." "Won't?" "I should have said can't. Let's see; this is February. March, dearest?" "Graydon, you are so much younger than I thought. A girl simply cannot be hurried through a an engagement. Next winter." "Next what? That's nearly a year, Jane. It's absurd! I'm ready." "I know. It's mighty noble of you, too.

"Now, let's play we're getting dinner."
Peter was down yesterday, with the wagon, to the other stand, and there he found an old woman and two men; and one said his name was George Harris; and from what he told of his history, I am certain who he is. He is a bright, likely fellow, too." "Shall we tell her now?" said Simeon. "Let's tell Ruth," said Rachel. "Here, Ruth, come here."
The dimple started the lights dancing in Leslie's eyes. "There! now you dear old Jewel, you know you don't want to talk to Aunt Ellen about us. She'll just mess things all up. Let's just do things, and get 'em all fixed up, and then tell her when it's too late for her to make a fuss," gurgled Leslie down close to Julia's ear, finishing up with a delicious bear-hug.
