Chirp and Chee and Chirk were fed, and then it was time to begin school. Mrs. Cricky always taught her own children.

She often said that she thought round-top desks better than flat, for then the children were not so likely to lean their elbows on them.
Crawford was thirty-three when his division did its noble work at Gettysburg. Chamberlain was thirty-four when he associated his name indelibly with the defense of Little Round-Top. Corse was but twenty-nine when he held the pass at Altoona. Beaver was still younger when he received his terrible wound and his promotion.
"Then then you'll see old Round-top wake up, quick's a wink and 'come across' with an invitation an invitation to that banner picnic the day after to-morrow!" "C. F. G.! C. F. G.! We are the Camp Fire C. F. G.! Oh! none with us can compare, For we looked over And picked the clover, And the World's lit up With our Camp Fires everywhere!"

"We're going to flash a message right across the valley, over to old Round-top, that sleepy, dark mountain, a couple of miles away, just as soon as the daylight is all faded out," she explained. "Oh, ho! That's what the Guardian meant when she spoke of showing us something a display with red fire, eh?" gasped Pemrose. "How are you going to signal with what code?"
'Surely, not yet, exclaimed several voices; but the pilot to make certain ascended to the round-top of the vessel. 'Gentlemen, cried the pilot, 'it is all right. We are before Damietta, so you have nothing to do but to recommend yourselves to God.
He had aimed to drive the Federal forces from the Cemetery Range, and had not been able to effect that object; but they had been forced back upon both their right and left, and a substantial advantage seemed thus to have been gained. That the Confederate success was not complete, seems to have resulted from the failure to seize the Round-Top Hill.
On the 1st of August, 1498, the man stationed at the round-top surprised them with the joyful cry of "Land!"
If old Round-top unhesitatingly played up, "came across" with an invitation an invitation to that alluring Get Together at the winter palace of the Snowbirds, then she would feel that a nickum's rudeness was atoned for and Jack at a Pinch might go his graceless road, never to prove a friend in need to her again not if she knew it! "Invite them to the picnic ... and don't forget the cocoa!"
He was dressed in a suit of new clothes, wore a new round-top hat, and sported a cane in his hand. His mustache had been freshly colored, and every hair was carefully placed. He did not look like a yachtman; more like a first-class swell. "I have been all the morning looking for some fellows to sail with me," said Laud. "I can't find a single one.
