"Well, I want you to do me a favor, my dear fellow, and I don't know how to ask you doocid big favor ah I was wondering if you would consent to act for me?"

Martin plays the fiddle." Patrick paused. "His hands, Dad, they are just like yours like mine. He reminds me of you." Patrick ran out of words. There was a brief silence. "It's a long story, Pat.

"They're pretty badly left already," muttered Captain Jack, bitterly.
There now," and he pushed the rubber tip of the bottle into the nuzzling mouth and the lamb began to suck it with ravenous ecstasy. After that there was no wondering what to say. By the time the lamb fell asleep questions poured forth and Dickon answered them all. He told them how he had found the lamb just as the sun was rising three mornings ago.

Mary grew rather white, as if she was going to faint; but Jim Marvyn stood up just as firm, and looked as proud and handsome as a prince, and he kind of looked down at her, 'cause, you know, he is a great deal taller, kind of wondering, as if he wanted to know if it was really so.
