The place he chose was between the leaves of a book. He would push a pin far in out of sight, and then go after another. A match he always tried to put in a crack, under the baseboard, between the breadths of matting, or under my rockers. He first placed it, and then tried to hammer it out of sight. He could seldom get it in far enough to suit him, and this worried him.
The girl's face was clouded, for she had just learned of Serviss's departure and was deeply hurt. She drew the pin from her hat and silently laid it on the table, and in this gesture was something of the resolution of the warrior who divests himself of his cumbering plumed helmet. "It's very simple," she curtly answered. "I want to get away from here for a while.
"Me, I theenk yoh not lov' me so moch as a pin," Ramon complained in soft reproach, down in the dry wash where Applehead had looked in vain for baling wire. "Sometimes I show yoh what is like the Spanish lov'. Like stars, like fire sometimes I seeng the jota for you that tell how moch I lov' yoh.
That pin always catches them." "I'll be more careful." He put his arm round again. She made no objection. "I'm so comfortable," he sighed blissfully. "So long as you're happy," she retorted. They drove down St. James' Street into the Park, and Philip quickly kissed her. He was strangely afraid of her, and it required all his courage. She turned her lips to him without speaking.

I never heard him swear all through it, an' it ain't natural for a real man to stand on his back for eight weeks without havin' a little molten lava slop over into his conversation. It was all I could do to keep from stickin' a pin into him.
And for a long time he kept that common, ordinary pin, and he used to show it to his boy friends, and tell them where he found it. "The White House President's pin," he used to call it. "And now," said Mr. Bobbsey, as they came from the White House, "I think we'll have time to see the Monument before lunch." "That's good!" exclaimed Nan. "And shall we go up inside it?"
It always was too high. I'll feel more comfortable in a kimona." She turned to her dressing table. "Aunt Harriet brought me something which pleased me. I have an old pin which belonged to mother when she was a girl. I thought I had lost it, but Aunt Harriet said I left it at her home and she brought it with her." Helen held the pin in her hand while she talked.
