His family and that of my husband were residents of Mobile, Alabama, and intimate friends. He seemed almost in the agony of death, but had asked to be brought to me.

"No, that's all right," he said. He tried to look again but this time he was distracted by an eerie roll of thunder which sounded like the ambulatory movements on creaking floor boards of the residents of an upper apartment heard from one story below. "To the left, under the bridge. Can't you see?" "Oh, I see them now. I bet so," he lied blandly.

The visitors were mostly residents of the city, and all were decorated in their best.
Under the guidance of David, they then started for the Indian woman's hut; while Flora set to work to carry away and obliterate all signs, from the hut, of its late residents. After a few minutes' walking, the boys arrived at the Indian hut. It was constructed simply, of boughs of trees thickly worked together.
Divine absurdity of childish faith! infinite artlessness of childish love! ... Probably the little girl's parents had been residents of New Orleans dwellers of the old colonial quarter, the faubourg, the faubou'. "Well, gentlemen," said Captain Harris, as Laroussel abandoned his cross-examination in despair, "all we can do now is to make inquiries. I suppose we'd better leave the child here.
Booth, who gave a lifelong study to the habits and environment of British birds.
