"Going to call on Dan Dott and his wife. You don't expect Dan to be wearing a dress suit, do you? He never wore one in his life." "It doesn't make any difference what he wears.

When she has a story to write, she goes to Boston, hires a quiet room, and shuts herself up in it.

Miss Alcott, like Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, is an earnest advocate of woman's suffrage, and temperance.
"Don't have a relapse," he said warningly, and then, turning to Will Phelps, he said, "Now I want my nice little boy, mamma's pet and papa's joy, to show what a good little boy he really is. He isn't going to do any of the naughty things that some of the wicked little college boys do. He is strong, he is, and he promised mamma he wouldn't, and he won't.

Tom, with a cry of pain, dashed forward and fell beside Ruth to examine the mastiff. "My poor dog!" he cried. "Is he badly hurt? What's happened to him?" "Did she shoot that panther?" demanded Isadore Phelps.
Walt Phelps' fear about the water had been verified. The supply was getting low. Provided they could "pick up" the mesa they were in search of before sundown, however, this was not so serious a matter as might have been supposed. Coyote Peter knew that there was a well at the mesa, the handiwork of the ancient desert-dwellers.
And it was a sufficient system, so long as it was not disturbed by external skepticism. When the outer world came to him, perhaps he had about as much to give to it as to receive from it; probably more, in his own estimation; for there is no conceit like that of isolation. Phelps loved his mountains.
Will you call the carriage?" "Yes, yes. They are calling it now. I'm so sorry the chauffeur or or Phelps is out. If he if they were not you could use our car. But, oh, Serena " Serena looked up. She was calmer now, she had heard, and loyally she answered. "Don't worry, Annette," she said. "I am not going to be sick. I won't. You can depend on me. Oh, Gertie, I'm SO tired! My poor head!"
