"Is Miss Nevins so very desirable?" asked Zay with a flash of mirth in her eye. "Still, if you met her abroad as a rich banker's daughter or heard of her being presented to the Queen " "Girls, don't quarrel about either one of them. Alice Nevins is a fool and always will be. Lilian Boyd is smart and ambitious but there is the bar sinister.
I think they hid it away. Miss Vincent picked it up in the library. Oh, what can we do?" "You can stop screaming and get up." Phillipa fairly dragged her up and shook her violently. "Hush! hush!" she commanded. "You'll have the whole faculty in here, and we'll be bundled out bag and baggage. Have a little regard for Zay and me if you have none for yourself."
Zay are sometimes black, signorina, and sometimes grey. Her laugh, it sounds like the song of a nightingale. He clasped his hands and rolled his eyes in a fine imitation of Gustavo. 'She is beautiful, signorina, beautiful as ze angels in Paradise! 'There seem to be a good many people beautiful as the angels in Paradise. 'She is most beautiful of all. 'What is her name?
Saturday he was to board his vessel and by Wednesday, at the farthest, they were to start on their three years' pilgrimage. But to each one some tenderness exclusively for herself. To Zay he recalled many of their joys during the summer time, little events they were glad to hold together and the blessed news of their mother. "There will never be anything quite like that," she thought to herself.
Now, when the order was passed to loose the skysail, an old Dutch sailor came up to me, and said, "Buttons, my boy, it's high time you be doing something; and it's boy's business, Buttons, to loose de royals, and not old men's business, like me.

"They zay to me," he complained, "'Will you take ze tee? and I answer, 'Ah, oui, but they give me no tea, but make a leetle hill with the sand. Then they zay, 'Will you take the spoon? They have give me no tea, but no matter. I answer again, 'Ah, oui, monsieur, but they give no spoon either. So I give up the thought of the tea, and play with the new club that they do give to me."

There were four new scholars in the Latin class. The Kirklands, Louie Howe, who had been promoted, and a Miss Boyd, who roused a peculiar interest; but then her rendering in the translation was exceedingly fine.

And now that her mother has recovered sufficiently to go into society again I am afraid Zay won't like to share her."
Barrington was quite puzzled about a resemblance to some one, and she thinks it you. She has not the radiant beauty of your girlhood, neither has she the dazzling charm of Zay. Oh, I think she is the most like Willard; rather too grand for a girl of sixteen, with a great deal of dignity. Oh, you should hear Mrs. Barrington talk about her.
