"Marie, I want to show Julia your dress; or would you like to show it yourself?" "Is it the dress?" Osborn asked, looking down on the top of Marie's shining head. Mrs. Amber sighed and smiled and the bride-elect sat up, sparkling.
But it was my highest rapture to sit in stillness for hours while Heraine, cushioned at my feet, made cunning embroideries, like some facile poet whose fingers were dropping rhymes.

There was a wide cushioned seat with many pillows beneath the windows, and here the girls established themselves very comfortably. "Yes, tell Sylvia the story," said Grace, piling up several cushions behind her back. "Of course it isn't true, but it's thrilling." "It is true," persisted Flora. "My mother says that her own governess saw Lady Caroline's ghost.

They were at work from the outside, sawing entrances through the labyrinth of planks. A dead woman lay close by, and Sene saw them draw her out. It was Meg Match.
Both Ozma and Dorothy were much relieved to find the Nome King so jolly, and a minute later he waved his right hand and the girls each found a cushioned stool at her side. "Sit down, my dears," said the King, "and tell me why you have come all this way to see me, and what I can do to make you happy."
