Suppose for a moment that you were going to stay with me through the summer, just let us plan what we would do." Rose shook her head. "It would be too tantalising, Pauline. I shall spend the summer at Woodcote.

Gray and Rosie would have liked very much to have walked about with Rollo and Josie, in the excursions which they made in this way; but they could not do it, for every where they went, such a number of poor, diseased, crippled, and wretched-looking objects came up to them, and gathered around them, as to destroy all the pleasure.
"Don't be disturbed, darling," he said; "it is only kind commendation of the way in which Rosie and you have acted your parts." "Why you should feel proud and happy, Gracie," said Zoe, drawing near.

Why, you woodenhead, when those tickets are presented at the door when the show comes around, the ticket takers won't accept them. Then there will be a howl that you can hear all across the state of Minnesota. How many times have I told you to be careful?" "The tickets are all right," growled Rosie, now a little nettled. "What!
