You did your best for her, but both of you were bounded north, south, east and west by Walland Marsh. I wish you could see her now, beside me on the terrace she is like a little finch in the sunshine of its first spring day. Her only trouble is her fear of you, her fear that you will not understand. But I tell her I would trust you first of all the world to do that.

"Well, if the movie people have as much trouble getting on the property as the sheriff and Mister Finch are having, they wouldn't get a very clear picture and the story would be limited to their own misfortunes. Up to now, old Hulls Barrow has stood 'em off with a gun. They don't want to kill him and they can't get possession. "Now this Bar-O ranch is just over the hogback, south of us.

Pip must express his regret, as a gentleman and a Finch, for "having been betrayed into a warmth which." This left me no course but to regret that I had been "betrayed into a warmth which," and on the whole to repudiate, as untenable, the idea that I was to be found anywhere.

He knew nothing of the present whereabouts of Miriam Finch and Norma Whitmore.

Then I will take you besides to the trees where all the birds sing 'Only trust the dear Lord! and where the finch cries so loud above them all: 'Trust! Trust! Trust! Trust! Have you heard him too?" At this description little Betti's eyes grew bigger and brighter with expectation. "Come now, let's go right away to the birds," she exclaimed, jumped up and ran in haste to the carriage.

Dubourg," I began, "you will already have guessed that I overheard what Miss Finch said to you at parting?" He bowed, in silent acknowledgment that it was so and began to toy nervously with the gold vase which Lucilla had left on the table. "What do you propose to do?" I went on. "You have spoken of the interest you feel in my young friend.

Oh, I have battered through more seasons than you have dreamt of! said Mrs. Finch, lightly, but with a sigh. 'And had a fever besides, which disposed of all my fat. I am like a hunter in fine condition, no superfluous flesh, ready for action. And as to action what are you doing, Theodora? where are you going? 'I don't know. Mamma keeps the cards.
