"I'll get the old scissors to cut out the papers while Alice begins." "Will you cut the bread for me, mother?" asked Alice. "You cut it evener than I can." "Gladly," replied Mrs. Merrill. "Then I'll skip up to the grocery with my order so that things can be delivered in time, before we lock up the house."
Out in the street Maurice hurried so that Edith, tucking, unasked, her hand through his arm, had to skip once or twice to keep up with him.... "Maurice," she said, breathlessly, "will you let me row?" "O Lord yes! I don't care."

But you have told the story bravely, and now will I shrive you, my son." So he gave him shrift.

"I may learn any rough affair, like drilling and gymnastics, and, perhaps, the broadsword exercises, and learn enough to cut a fellow's head off; but to hop and skip about to the sound of a fiddle, or to handle a thin bar of steel so as to prevent another fellow with a similar weapon running his into me, is totally beyond my powers. I know that I could not, if I was to try ever so much."
Tell me who is sweeter! As love-making in which we have no share is apt to be either tantalising or monotonous, I propose to skip the next fortnight and introduce myself to the reader at a moment when I am once more alone.
"This is going to be one grand final rally, and we want above all the two famous members of the clan." "You may wear your kilts and whitewash brushes," conceded Nellie.
