"Oh! don't let him think that," exclaimed Sophy, earnestly. "No, that I will not," said Philip. "Who'll go? A little recreation will do some of us good, and we'll work all the better when we come back." Something kept Sophy from volunteering to be of the party, but her younger sisters jumped at the proposal.
We'll no longer be a herd of cattle, that they can drive about as they please! We'll organise, we'll stand together shoulder to shoulder! Either we'll win together, or we'll starve and die together! And not a man of us will yield, not a man of us will turn traitor! Is there anybody here who'll scab on his fellows?" There was a howl, which might have come from a pack of wolves.
And Arty we'll keep chained upon the premises and feed him with peppercorns when we want something particularly hot. Ford can retire to painting and pour his whole supply of bile out in one cartoon a week that we'll publish as a Saturday's supplement.

On a ledge near him, in some lightly-sifted snow, he had traced with his finger: "I must be ill, I've such a chill. Here I'll die, Nobody by. Who'll cry? Not I! The bag'll be found, It's safe and sound. There'll be no snow Where I shall go; There'll be no storm, It will be warm. Good-night! Good-night!"
They are saying to the Southern army: 'Look out! Look out! We're coming in the morning, and it's we who'll attack now!" Dick saw that Colonel Winchester himself was excited.
