"We can't have a circus with just a el'funt," said Celia Jane. "Of course, we can't," said Danny decisively and turned to Jerry. "What else'll we have?" "Couldn't we have more'n one el'funt?" Jerry asked hopefully. "What'd we want with more'n one el'funt?" Danny queried in scorn. "I guess one el'funt's enough for one circus. Anyway, we want something besides el'funts."

She won't let him ruin his life. And I'll keep quiet till I hear from you. If she's sensible and really decent, then she can give him his clearance papers without his knowing why she did it and everything will be a secret and kept so. Nobody else'll ever know.
How in God's name Jeff Davis expects me to command an army with such makeshifts of staff officers as he sends me, I don't know. He keeps the best for old Lee unt sends me what nobody else'll have, unt then expects me to win battles against a better army than the Army of the Potomac.

Somebody'll be sure to carry cake, and pies, and cold ham and cheese, and bread and butter, and cold chicken. All that's sure." "Exactly. I could have told you as much myself, Diana. What I want to know is, somethin' nobody'll take."
Now, come quick somebody else'll be here directly." "Which is Miss Mimy?" said Ellen. "That big ugly woman in a purple frock.

They are as stingy as they can live.
Of course, she'll know all there was in the papers. But my mother claims a deal more than the trust money jewels, and that kind of thing. And Uncle Mallory treated us shamefully about them shamefully! That's why I'm come over. I made mother let me! Oh, she's so soft, is mother, she'd let anybody off.
