No, no; if you tremble like that, I sha'n't tell you. It's only when you promise me " "I promise, I promise, Floyd! Is it anything about our our children?" "Yes I have found them!" How many times for lesser things had she fainted!

Of the opening thus unexpectedly offered her Miriam made full use, pointing out the folly or verifying suspicions after marriage rather than before. "Well, I'm going to do it, do you see?" was Evie's only reply. "I know it will be all right in the end."

"You sha'n't sing if you do not wish to do so; but let me tell you: there is a deed of record in my State conveying a tract of land to a girl from an old gentleman on the expressed consideration that she had sung 'Annie Laurie' for him when he asked her to do it, without being begged."

They might even conclude that I can not paint, which would be very unfair, because I can paint, you know." "Well, proceed to arrange my point of view, so that you sha'n't tumble in my estimation when I discover that you don't lounge in a studio, smoke monogrammed cigarettes, and remark how badly the other men paint." "That's it. That's precisely what I wish to do." "Begin."

I shall probably have to go the rounds of all the managers, but I am not going to stop till I have gone the rounds. I shall begin with the highest, and I sha'n't stop till I reach the lowest." "But when? How? You haven't thought it out." "Yes, I have.

Who warned 'em?" "I don't know. I got my information from a baby in blue plush breeches. Did they do well?" "Very decently indeed. I've complimented their C.O. and buttered the whole boiling."

We sha'n't need the men for an hour, Vee."

She took up her verse where William had interrupted: "The bride and her maidens sit in her bower, And they stitch at a winding-sheet; And they weep as the breath of the orange flower " Emily is so absorbed at the dinner-table that Aunt Cordelia is moved to argue about it.
