"They must have reached the cave from some other way. As a matter of fact, I walked some distance after getting out of the vehicle, before we got to the cavern. But, even at that, I don't believe we came this way." "Yet the phantom was here," persisted Tom, "and I'm convinced that the cave is in this neighborhood. It's up to us to find it!"
"I ran a horse named Lodestar under the name of Count Donato. I believed that he would win and he lost. That's the story, father. Why drag any names into it?" He regarded her, too amazed to speak. His daughter, this bit of a schoolgirl as he persisted in calling her, she had run a race-horse in her own name? What a thing to hear! But was it an evil thing. The girl had plenty of courage certainly.
"That, speaking of roses " went on Dick. "Roses!" ejaculated Jack. "Who said anything about roses?" "Well, talking about roses, anyhow " continued Dick. "I don't see anything about here to remind you of roses," contended Donald. "Can you tell me," persisted Dick, "what kind of rows never come singly?" "The kind you have to hoe," responded Donald, whose father had a garden.
He could not get the flight of the deer out of his mind, and knowing that it was well in the wilderness to obey premonitions he watched more closely. Dick sat on his horse behind the bush a full five minutes, and presently he became conscious that his heart was pounding heavily. He exerted his will and called himself foolish, but in vain.

Maurice saw Hermione before him in the night, tall, flat, with her long arms, her rugged, intelligent face, her enthusiastic brown eyes. "Is she pretty?" continued Maddalena. "Is she as young as I am?" "She is good, Maddalena," Maurice answered. "Is she santa?" "I don't mean that. But she is good to every one." "But is she pretty, too?" she persisted. "And young?" "She is not at all old.
The mother did not much heed the little eager voice, she drew in a cord which ran round the lining, then again placed the hat on Harold's head. "Now it fits, darling," she said. "But I think the bit of paper is injured," persisted the boy. "How funny I should never have thought of it until now. I'll take it out, mother, and you can put it by with the other things."
"Nobody is talking about anything except the fall in prices just now," she persisted. "I suppose it affects you, too?" Gregory, who seemed to accept this as a rebuff, looked at her rather curiously, and then laughed. "It must be admitted that it does. In fact, I've been acquiring parsimonious habits and worrying myself about expenses lately.
"Why, I knew all about it, of course. Fanny told me, and Mrs. Dick Dayton wrote home, and, well, I knew about it a great deal better than anybody else!" "And you knew I was up here?" "Of course I did! Why, else, should I have come up at daybreak?" "But, Dorothy," Wakefield persisted, determined to make a clean breast of it at the outset. "Did you know I had made a fizzle of everything out here?"
They persisted in calling the newly discovered lands the "Indies," and even after Balboa had discovered that another ocean lay beyond the Isthmus of Panama, it was thought that a few days' sail would bring one to the outlying possessions of the Great Khan.
When got home, Mr Arnold, who was as yet a stranger to our extraordinary behaviour, being informed that the new performer was my son, sent his coach, and an invitation, for him; and as he persisted in his refusal to appear again upon the stage, the players put another in his place, and we soon had him with us.
