"No, Mr. Parcell, it is not a beautiful Home, it is a prison a horrible prison!" "Why, my dear! I do not understand " "I don't want you to understand!" Polly cried hurriedly. "I ought not to have said that! Only it came out! You will know, Mr.
They can't say a word, or they'd be turned out, and I've kept still too long! But I mustn't tell you any more." Polly drew a long breath. "I must go now, Mr. Parcell. I am so glad you like Miss Twining's poems! And you'll forgive me, won't you, for all I have said?" "There is nothing to forgive, my dear."
Parcell," Polly said slowly, "that you have not read the book at all?" Her emphasis made her thought clear, and his cheeks reddened. "I shall have to own up to my neglect," he replied.

Does the race hold at Newmarket for the Cup ? When is the Cocking, gentlemen? There are a parcell of rare Jewells to be sold now, and a man had money.

Hist. Col. Hist. Assoc. After the charter granted to the Council for New England in 1620, Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Captain John Mason procured, August 10, 1622, a patent for "all that part of y^e maine land in New England lying vpon y^e Sea Coast betwixt y^e rivers of Merrimack & Sagadahock and to y^e furthest heads of y^e said Rivers and soe forwards up into the land westward untill threescore miles be finished from y^e first entrance of the aforesaid rivers and half way over that is to say to the midst of the said two rivers w^ch bounds and limitts the lands aforesaid togeather w^th all Islands and Isletts w^th in five leagues distance of y^e premisses and abutting vpon y^e same or any part or parcell thereoff."
