There's not one chance in fifty that any one would show up here but you never can tell. We could get the stuff out of sight easily enough while the car was coming up the gulch.

"Pennington's a good fellow," he said abruptly as they gained their own porch, "but I don't want you to have too much to do with him.
She had never seen her grandmother, but she had played about her very often. "No," snapped Mrs. Davis. "It's your Uncle Peter. Don't ask questions; it's none of your business who's sick.
