"It's a sparrow hawk they're after. That's the sparrow hawk's cry, but it's a blue jay that made it. They always mimic them when they chase them. I've watched them lots of times." "I wish we could see them now!" said Frank. "The hawk will turn on them soon. Then they'll change their tune." "They are having a good time shouting and screaming to each other," said Susie.
He smiled friendly enough, but Ruth knew where his thoughts were. "Get what you wanted?" inquired he, and went on to explain: "I came back to find out if you and Susie were to be at home this evening. Thought I'd call." Ruth paled with angry dismay.

Come, Mr. Whittaker." So Cy took her arm and they danced "Money Musk" together.
I will be responsible for the blister." Mrs. Singleton spread her arms over the sick girl, as a hen shelters her brood from a swooping hawk. "But, Susie, the Doctor knows better what is " "Hush, Ned.

The incident rather struck me; it seemed to indicate that Mrs. Courtney was under no apprehension that the child would say anything embarrassing about the father.

"But it would spoil my beautiful creek," said Susie. "Don't do that." "If this swamp were in New England," said Uncle Robert, "the farmers would dig out this rich mud for their poor land."
