"This is nonsense, Aunt." "Excuse me, Benis. The nonsense is on your side. I know what I am talking about, and I know Mary Davis. She is one of those women for whom a man obscures the landscape. She will flirt on her deathbed, or any-body else's deathbed, which is worse. Come now, be honest. She has been doing it, hasn't she?" "Certainly not." "I suppose you have to say that.
Grid-ley I can't I can't tell you or any-body what 's the mat-mat-matter. My heart will br-br-break." "No, no, no, child," said Mr. Gridley, sympathetically stirred a little himself by the sight of Susan in tears and sobbing and catching her breath, "that mustn't be, Susan Posey. Come off the steps, Susan Posey, and stop dusting the books, I can finish them, and tell me all abort your troubles.

I get quite jealous sometimes.
I daresay you like good things to eat as well as any-body." Mike stood silent for a moment, and his eyes began to brighten. "Indeed I do, mum," said he. "If I was to carry in a punkin to you when they're ripe, I wonder if you'd be willin' to make me a punkin pie, same kind as Queen Victoria has in the fall of the year." La Fleur beamed on him most graciously.
Ben would never do a thing like that!" "Not he! I'd be as like to do it mysen. Thou must go thy ways and see Martha as soon as iver t' dinner is eat. I s'all stand by Martha and Ben to t' varry last. Ben Craven murder any-body! Hee! I crack't out laughing when I heard tell o' such nonsense." In fact, the squire had been touched in a very tender spot.

We'll go into this in the morning. Come round early in the morning. We'll settle it then." He was passing with Huggo through the door when Doda, equipped for her dance, came running down the stairs.
