I shall be seriously displeased if I find you are talking it over with outsiders, especially other children." Ralph and Dick had already taken their way to the station and now Daddy Morrison hurried to get his train. "Why doesn't he want us to talk about it?" asked Sister, puzzled. "Couldn't I tell Nellie Yarrow?" "I wouldn't," counseled Mother Morrison.
The Americans saw the development of the industry with anger and alarm. Considering the seals as their own, they naturally resented this unlimited exploitation by outsiders when Americans themselves were so strictly limited by law.
"Well, Jed," the judge was beginning to say in an argumentative tone of voice, when father arose and stepped in front of the bench. "May it please your honor to appoint a counsel for the defense?" he asked in a ringing voice that brought all the outsiders crowding into the door.
"Gordon won't let you go. And you won't have any more dirt thrown at you probably. If you do, it'll be time enough then." "There's more than that." "Is there? What?" "We're a pariah caste, Edmonds, we reporters. People look down on us." "Oh, that be damned! You can't afford to be swayed by the ignorance or snobbery of outsiders. Play the game straight, and let the rest go."

"Is that you, Polly?" whispered Lucile to somebody standing near her.
The Maine Station was chiefly instrumental in introducing trap-nests, curtain front houses and dry feeding. The breeding work at Maine will be discussed at length in the last section of this chapter. The United States Department of Agriculture did not take up poultry work until 1906. The publications issued by the department before that time were written by outsiders and printed by the Government.
Amid a silence which was intense, two or three other witnesses were called to prove that Miss Tuttle's skill in bow-tying was exceptional, and was often made use of, not only by members of her household, but, as in Miss Nixon's case, by outsiders; the special style shown in the one under consideration being the favorite. During all this, I kept my eyes on Mr. Jeffrey.
"Major Vaughan is there," I said, "and has found the waters very good, I believe; any day, at twelve o'clock, you may see him getting out of his chair and going into the Pump Room on Derrick's arm. I often wonder what outsiders think of them. It isn't often, is it, that one sees a son absolutely giving up his life to his invalid father?" She looked a little startled.
