"She's had more experience in sailing boats like these than you have, Dolly," said Eleanor. "She's welcome to it," said Dolly. "I shan't make any excuses if I lose.

Honour bright, we shan't meet any one I sympathise with there." "Very well then, I'll come." "Hurrah!" cried Andrew eagerly. "It is stuffy and close in here. I did hope that we should have been down at the old house by this time." "Yes, that holiday got knocked on the head. Has Lady Gowan heard from your father again?" "Hush!" "Oh, very well; I'll whisper. But there are no spies here."
She would see to it that she did not have to abandon her other ambitions. When Bullard made his appearance, however, she betrayed no unusual interest in the man. "Was Robert not thinking of going to bed?" she casually enquired. "He ought to be there now, Mrs. Lancaster. If I were you " "I shan't be a minute," she said, rising, "but I really must look after him."
The idea of your having your head turned by a little politeness!" "He loves me he told me so. And I love him. I told him so. He's mine! You shan't take him from me!" "He told you he loved you?"

The others laughed, and Jahan exclaimed in his good-natured way: "Let us hope that he won't take you so far. You've reached your destination now, and I shan't be the one to prevent you from being happy."
"Humph!" said Adam. "Money's a scarce thing here." "How much'll ye want?" asked the other. "Well," said the boy, "I want enough to feel safe. For if I go, I promise you I shall stay till I succeed. I shan't play the baby." "How do you expect to raise it?" was the next question. "I thought," replied Samuel, "that we might make some kind of a deal let me sell out my share in the farm."
"This is very jolly," said Betty, when they were alone. "It's like an elopement." "Exactly," said Miss Conway. "Good night." "It's rather like a dream, though.

When she sees how very happy you are with me I am sure she'll feel happier." He wasn't at all sure. "I don't know, Gregory. I am afraid that my happiness cannot make her less lonely." Karen's griefs were not to be lightly dispersed.
"You shan't go home till after supper, you little darling Dotty Dimple." "O, but I must go, for my mother doesn't know where I am," said Dotty, in a dreary tone. She had no longer any curiosity regarding Jewish suppers; all she wanted was the liberty to get away. But it is always easier to fall into a trap than to get out of it.
