"But I told him he must be an unnatural little beast not to try to like me when he knew how you loved me." "Helpful way of putting it," growled Abner. "And what did he say to that?" "Admitted it," flashed Ann indignantly. "Said he had tried."
"'Cap'n Abner is one of the finest men in this world, interrupted Sam, 'and he's got a fust-class house, and I ain't got none, and he's got all sorts of things from all parts of the world that he's put in it. But I can get a house and things to put in it, and I can do without gilded idols and king conch-shells, and, what's still more to the p'int, Mrs.
Miss Crane lingered in Mrs. Abner Reed's room later than usual that night. "Virginia," said Mrs. Colfax, the next morning on coming downstairs, "I am going back to Bellegarde today. I really cannot put up with such a person as Comyn had here to tea last night." "Very well, Aunt Lillian. At what time shall I order the carriage?" The lady was surprised.
These hinges was riveted on and didn't come loose easy. The rear of that trunk must of been one sad mutilation. It probably won't ever again be the trunk it once was. Abner had to hustle to get through in one day. I wish I could get the old hound to work for me that way. They'd just got the trunk back when I rode in that night. It was nervy, all right!
Undine; but I thought maybe, off nights, you'd like to send it to your friends." Mrs. Spragg, who from her doorway had assisted with moist eyes at this closing pleasantry, came forward as Undine hurried away to dress. "Abner can you really manage it all right?"

Abner made a good deal of time for the Burrow, but it was long before he brought himself to make any for Eudoxia Pence.
Don't you think we can eat the bread now?" "Yes, we'd better. I feel kind o' gone myself." They sat down under a tree, and Abner divided the bread fairly. "You ought to have more than I," protested Herbert. "You're bigger than I, and need more." "Never mind that! You'll need it to keep up your strength."
This impious and altogether profane action Joab did to a good young man, and his kinsman, and one that had done him no injury, and this out of jealousy that he would obtain the chief command of the army, and be in equal dignity with himself about the king; and for the same cause it was that he killed Abner.
Master Langdon took his seat and began the exercises of his school. The smaller boys recited their lessons well enough, but some of the larger ones were negligent and surly. He noticed one or two of them looking toward the door, as if expecting somebody or something in that direction. At half past nine o'clock, Abner Briggs, Junior, who had not yet shown himself, made his appearance.
I am not a thief." "Then I'll turn them out myself!" snarled Abner Adams, starting forward. Phil stepped back a pace, satchel in hand. "Uncle, I am a man now," said the boy, straightening to his full height. "Please don't force me to do something that I should be sorry for all the rest of my life. Will you shake hands with me?"
