Crane remarked to Mrs. Farnshaw as they rode home together: "I declare, Lizzie's th' coolest hand I ever met. She couldn't 'a' liked Mr. Noland very much. She wasn't near as broke up as Mr. Hunter was, an' when I asked her if she wouldn't feel kind of spooky in that house after such a thing, she just looked at me, funny-like, an' says 'Why? an' didn't seem t' care a bit."
He felt rather ashamed of having shown temper. 'Well, here's your way home, said he with an effort at friendliness. 'Goodbye; we've had a nice evening anyhow.

You was so upset yesterday when that young fool Chandler came, dressed up, to the door." "I shouldn't have been frightened if he'd just been an ordinary stranger," she said shortly.
I know I oughtn't to have laughed at anything to do with the Bible, but you see, Miss Daisy said it so funny-like, and, by all accounts, your lodger must be a queer card, Mrs. Bunting."

I'm not used not to notice people, Robbie." "It's your business, George," said Mr. MacAlister, and then as he gazed at his cousin's thoughtful face, his own grew suddenly animated.
