"He PROMISED, mynheer, he promised me yesterday to come to the father in a week. But now that the change has come, we cannot wait. We think the poor father is dying. Oh, mynheer, you can plead with him to come quick. He will not wait a whole week and our father dying, the good meester is so kind." "SO KIND!" echoed Peter in astonishment. "Why, he is known as the crossest man in Holland!"
I have such a fellow feeling for her, for I always detest grammar. Please, Mrs. Willis, don't go away." "I'll come back presently," said Mrs. Willis; she crossed the lawn as she spoke, leaving the fascinating book open on Nora's sofa.

"But we only want the scrapings of the pan, Burney: mamma always lets us have them, when we help her make jelly; don't she, Nelly?" said Poppy, trying to explain the case. "Yes; and makes us our little potful too," added Nelly, persuasively. "I don't want your help; so be off. Your ma can fuss with your pot, if she chooses. I've no time." "I think Burney's the crossest woman in the world.
I know your fight. How brave it is. Even when I'm crossest with you, I realize. Alma's fighting with you, dearest, every inch of the way until you're cured! And then maybe some day anything you want! But not now. Mama, you wouldn't marry Louis Latz now!" "I would. He's my cure. A good home with a good man and money enough to travel and forget myself.

On the right as you descend you will have seen the "Red Lion," and will have seen no other house conspicuous in any way. At the bottom, close to the brook, is the post-office, kept surely by the crossest old woman in all those parts.
Mother said I could go to the next reception, and I am going." "She didn't mean this kind of a reception, and you can't go." "I will, I will! Oh, you are the crossest sister!" cried poor Peace, with tears of vexation streaming down over her cheeks. "You always spoil my good times!
