"It's wonderful of you, of course, but you know I couldn't do that." "And there's Amanda Peabody," added Violet.
Bonner's enforced presence at Anderson Crow's home was the source of extreme annoyance to the young men of the town. "Blootch" Peabody created a frightful scandal by getting boiling drunk toward the end of the week, so great was his dejection.

The labial palpi are three-jointed, the joints being broad, and in life directed backwards instead of forwards as in the higher insects. There are five American species of the genus Lepisma in the Museum of the Peabody Academy.
My maternal aunt, Miss Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, was a very learned woman, and a great student of history, and teacher of it; and by the aid of huge, colored charts, done by my uncle Nat Peabody and hung on the walls of our sitting-room, she labored during some years to teach me all the leading dates of human history the charts being designed according to a novel and ingenious plan to fix those facts in childish memory.
