"Joel Pepper!" exclaimed a voice, suddenly, that made all the boys skip, while little Davie shook in much worse apprehension than he did before. "Fighting in the public road! Well, I never heard anything so dreadful!" Joel whirled around, his fists still ready. "I ain't fighting," he denied stoutly. It was Miss Jerusha, Parson Henderson's sister.
There'll be only time to skip home for Aunt Hannah, and to pack the trunks before it'll be time to start." Bertram looked at Cyril significantly when this letter was read aloud; and afterward he muttered in Cyril's ear: "You see! It's Hampden Falls she calls 'home' now not the Strata."

Lockwood did not expect her home until lunch-time, but, happening to glance from her window about ten o'clock, what was her surprise to see two figures approaching, one with a series of bounds, prances and jumps, which indicated a wildly hilarious and satisfied frame of mind in Jean, and the other with a subdued hop and skip, and then a sedate walk, which, although less demonstrative, was quite as indicative of a very deep and serene happiness to any one familiar with Helen.
Anybody will be able to understand that we were pretty hungry at the end of the second day. We were thirsty too I paid as much as fifty cents for a glass of ice-water from the cabin but I will skip the mass of details.
"Well, if I don't want you in the daytime, I'll let you sleep. I won't come bothering around. Any time you see something's up, in the night, just skip right around and maow." THE first thing Tom heard on Friday morning was a glad piece of news Judge Thatcher's family had come back to town the night before.
Miss Crane's boarding-house is not an interesting place, and the tempest in that teapot is better imagined than described.

That afternoon Stephen came again to the dirty flight of steps which led to Judge Whipple's office.
