I wonder if that could be what what that Mongolian was regarding so closely?" "Maybe," responded Roy carelessly, "but now I'm really off to get that water. Hot or cold?" "Both!" cried Peggy.
His eyes were little, and green. Nancy had expected to see a very handsome, noble-looking old gentleman. Instead, she saw a very sly-looking man, with something mean and furtive in his manner, despite his fine build and immaculate dress. "Ah! thank you, thank you, my pretty miss," he said, accepting the handkerchief. "It is a very warm day." "Yes, sir," responded Nancy, politely.
"I think I will walk home with you, Henry," he said. "I want to have a talk with you." His heart thumped as he said that; he felt he had committed himself.

"And yellow teeth," responded Babette.
"Say, cut out that nonsense, you two, and get down to business, will you?" interrupted Dick. "What time are we supposed to leave here, Bert?" he asked. "Right after lunch," responded that individual. "I'll get a time table, and we'll see what will be the best train to take." "I know a better way to go than by train," said Dick. "What's that walk?" inquired Tom sarcastically.
