"Were you expecting more?" "Wasn't expecting anything," the man retorted. "It's a nice day for a swim, so I thought I'd come sell refreshments to the swimmers." "They're afraid of ghost fish," Rick said. "The place is haunted." The man grinned. "I heard about the ghost. If he shows up I'll sell him a cream pie." "Sell me one," Rick invited, and Scotty echoed the thought. "Pleasure."
We had 'em in Rawlins and on their way by Sunday noon. "No, I don't know what Welborn said to the count," was Jim's reply to Davy's eager question. "It must have been potent and terrifying, the way that gangster wet his lips and swollered." "Did young Goff accept Maddy's gift of the gold dust?" Jim laughed. "That's another Welborn plan and order and it wasn't ignored.
If it wasn't for the ould fort flamin' out wanst in a whoile, I'd be thinkin' I'd never an oi in my head, barrin' the fires in the tints far an' near gives a bit of dimness to the dark. Phwat time is it?" "Quarter to twelve, Barney." "Troth, then, the relief will be soon coming. I must be thramping the mud av Virginia to save the Union. Good-night, byes. I come to give yez the good word.
But now I don't feel like that I can never see him again." "I don't suppose YOU'RE crazy, are you?" Delia returned. "I can't tell him it wasn't me I can't, I can't!" her companion went on. Delia planted herself in front of her. "Francie Dosson, if you're going to tell him you've done anything wrong you might as well stop before you begin. Didn't you hear how poppa put it?"
But at last she found that she couldn't bear it, and she had to tell him so." "Did she ever say why she didn't love him?" "No; I don't suppose she could. The only thing I remember her saying was that he was 'too much of a mixture." "What did she mean by that?" "I don't know exactly." "Do you think he's insincere?" "Oh no. Perhaps she meant that he wasn't single-minded." "Fickle?" "No.
They now looked on the world in general, and this fair scene in particular, with all the nonchalance of one born and brought up in the midst of such conditions as could bring about a state of affairs like the present that surrounded her. And many asked, "Who is that child?" for it was clearly seen that she wasn't of the set that was thronging the grounds.

I do feel that I wasn't born to live nowhere except in the South; and so I thought when I wrote Ichabod Bunce my last letter. I told him every man on his own hook, now for, you see, I couldn't stand his close-fisted contrivances no longer.

You see I'd popped the mummy into a case without its bandages and if Thatcher had glimpsed that he'd have said something Oh, innocently that would have given the show away.
