But what I mean is, that legs don't last broken ones, you know like lifelong invalids, same as Mrs. Snow has got. So yours won't last till doomsday at all. I should think you could be glad of that." "Oh, I am," retorted the man grimly. "And you didn't break but one. You can be glad 'twasn't two." Pollyanna was warming to her task. "Of course!
"The question is am I too ill to fulfil my engagement? and I say 'no," cried Bella, angrily. "And me, the missis and me we says, certainly you are, and so heverybody says. You want a thorough rest, and then you will pick up again." "That may be your opinion; it is not mine! you may talk till doomsday; you won't convince me.

And who was the giver of this kind token would have remained secret till doomsday had not Susan by chance, and to his great vexation, betrayed my brother Kunz.
