The Wileys were more and more astonished that she should be so short-sighted, but Mr. Phipps shook her by both hands and expressed his cordial approbation, and Miss Buff advised her to have her own way, and let those who were vexed please themselves again.
Or such rich, nutty doughnuts? doughnuts that had spurned the hot fat which is the ruin of so many, and risen from its waves like golden-brown Venuses. "By the great seleckmen!" ejaculated Jed Towle, as he swallowed his fourth, "I'd like to hev a wife, two daughters, and four sisters like them Wileys, and jest set still on the river-bank an' hev 'em cook victuals for me.
Claude Merrill had given him a letter for Rose, but his notion was that anything that belonged to her belonged to Stephen, and the Waterman place was much nearer than the Wileys', particularly at dinner-time! When the boy had slouched away, Stephen sat under the apple tree, now a mass of roseate bloom, and buried his face in his hands.
Wish you could have heard the Wileys when they had a fight." "Ladies don't say such things," said Faith, very primly for her. "It isn't right," whispered Una. "I ain't a lady," said Mary.

Harry told her how and why he had come, and Bessie was furiously indignant at the Wileys pretending to any concern in her affairs.
