"That's what we're just a-goin' to decide," said McElvey, in answer to Laurette's question.

We then sat down, and I gave him the key ring, which he said was a dandy. I then told him about getting Sis married and out of the way. He thought it was a good idea. "You'll never have a chance as long as she's around," he observed, smoking father's cigar at intervals. "They're afraid of you, and that's flat. It's your Eyes. That's what got me, anyhow."
"I'm afraid they've guessed our secret, dear." "Secret!" Slater rolled his eyes. "There ain't over a couple thousand people beside us that saw you pop the question. I s'pose she was out of breath and couldn't say no." Eliza gasped and fled to her brother's arms. "Sis! Poor little Sis!" Dan cried, and two tears stole down his brown cheeks. "Isn't this just great?"
"Oh, that's so. I forgot. Well, we could put in every now and then, to see if there was any word for you." "What's all this?" asked Grace, with a glance at her brother. "Just a little secret, Sis," he answered. "Oh, tell me!" "Not now. Later. Now if you girls " "I say!" broke in Percy. "Hello! He's come to life!" laughed Roy.

"Kinchinjunga has never seemed so beautiful as it does this morning.
Why, David Carroll I think you're simply simply grandiloquent! When will you come?" "If your sister will permit " "Bother Sis! To-morrow night?" "Yes, to-morrow night." She executed a few exuberant dance steps. "Oh, what'll the girls say when I tell 'em?" Carroll climbed thoughtfully back into his car. He saw Evelyn enter the house, but his thoughts were not with her.
After supper they went to their room a spacious and comfortably, though plainly, furnished one, with a bright fire burning in a jolly little stove. Their spirits knew no bounds. "What would Catalina say to this solid comfort, Sis?" queried Eddie. "I think she would faint for joy." For answer Virginia smiled upon him through a mist of tears. "Why Virginia my Heart " he cried in amazement.
