Can you wonder that they loved this amazing person who tugged their hearts this way and that with ail the dear old songs that those they'd loved best had once sung to them?

The sedge has wither'd from the lake, And no birds sing. He went through the poem; Nancy the while did not stir. It was as though he murmured melody for his own pleasure, rather than recited to a listener; but no word was inaudible.
It was, like everything else I had seen, very ingeniously contrived. The bath was a high box without bottom, and with a hole, large enough for the head, in the top. Ail the walls were double and were made of windproof material, with about an inch between for the air to circulate. This box stood on a platform, which was raised a couple of feet above the snow surface.
"Hullo," said Charlotte with a suddeness that made Melina jump. "What time is it, and how is every one?" "Goodness, I thought you was asleep. They're all right. I've just made your ma go to bed, though she declares she never felt better in her life. Stanley's sitting up on the sofa with the pillows ail around him, feeling like a little king, and Molly's proud as Punch to be nurse.

"But even if Archie were strong and well, and could gain far more than I can, it would yet be far better for him to be at the school. A man can do so little in the world if he has no education; and now is Archie's time to get it."
"Oh, what a beautiful present!" exclaimed Miss Anna, holding it up to the light admiringly. "How can I ever thank you." "Don't thank me: you could have the dairy! You could have the cows, the farm." "O dear, no!" cried Miss Anna, "that would be altogether too much! One bottle goes far beyond all that I ever hoped for." "I wish ail women were like you." "O dear, no! that would not do at all!
It lies in the country, near a small village, and in this respect also differs from the 'Gymnasia' and 'higher burgher' schools, which are ail situated in the larger towns.

Ail the wide expanse of Lost Valley was still and sweet with dawn, smiling as if with a new and wondrous peace, the Vestal's Veil shimmered on the Rockface, the distant peaks above the Cañon Country cut the skies. She scanned the little world about and felt this peace press down upon her soul as if the questions all were answered, the duty done.
Ail these years you've been kind a-talkin' it over, an' now y'r actshelly goin'-Waal, I never! 'I s'pose Ripley furnishes the money, ses I to him. 'Well, no, ses 'e. 'Ripley says he'll be blowed if he sees where the money's comin' from, ses 'e; and ses I, 'But maybe she's jest jokin', ses I. 'Not much, he says. S' 'e: 'Ripley believes she's goin' fast enough.
We're so poor so poor so poor!" Her voice fell into a murmur too low for me to hear what she was saying, though she went on talking rapidly, and laughing and sobbing at times.
