The circus people had reported the loss as soon as it had been discovered and it had been duly announced in the papers. Mr.
Moving this up to the window to stand on he found he could reach the middle of the sash, and turn the fastener. "Now if I can only push up the window, Sue!" he cried. "I'll help you," the little girl said. "Here's a stick, I can push with that." So with Bunny standing on the box, and Sue, on the floor, pushing with the stick, they tried to put up the window in order to get out of the empty house.
He gazed at the sulphur-colored crest, the pure white wings with their deeper-tinted lining, and even the beak and the fierce round eyes, as he had gazed at the broom bush in his babyhood, with insatiable delight. The cousin did things handsomely. He had had a ring put round one of the cockatoo's ankles, with a bright steel chain attached and a fastener to secure it to the perch.
"Have you heard a rumour that he is going to marry Miss Bootes?" naming one of the richest heiresses cf the day. "No; I hadn't heard it." Lorraine gave a quick glance at her face, but saw only the look of concentration on the fractious fastener. "Well," Hal said in level tones, " I suppose she is worth about half a million, and I don't think he is rich."

Papa is getting ready, now, to drive us to the station, for it is almost time for the train." As she spoke, the doctor's voice was heard from below, calling to them to hurry; Aunt Jane swept out from her room; Mrs. Adams snapped the fastener of her bag and turned to say good by to her daughter.
Fasten the sheets together at the top left hand corner with a paper fastener, the pointed ends of the fastener being at the top. Do not pin the sheets; do not stitch them; whatever else you do, refrain from stitching them all the way down the left hand side, as this process makes it irritatingly difficult to turn them over.
The public, being thus continually informed that orders for the "Cosmopolitan Window Fastener" could not possibly be filled under two months, very naturally began to send in orders for the invaluable invention, to be filled after that period. Every mail brought hundreds of them from all parts of the country.

A native woman, tall, lithe, and handsome, stood there in the full light of morning, beckoning. A strange glow of hatred gleamed in her large gray eyes.
His mind is not much disturbed by objects, but he can fix a half-hour's contemplation on a good fat cow. His habitation is under a poor thatched roof, distinguished from his barn only by loop-holes that let out the smoke. Dinner is serious work, for he sweats at it as much as at his labor, and he is a terrible fastener on a piece of beef.
