Will you?" "I surely will," said Kate. "And hadn't I better have ALL of them, and put some little thing from you on the tree for them?
In this mood he went on, following the direct way to his grandmother's homestead. He reached the garden-gate, and, looking into the bosky basin where the old house stood, saw a graceful female form moving before the porch, bidding adieu to some one within the door. He wondered what creature of that mould his grandmother could know, and went forward with some hesitation.
Leslie knew that this half-scandalized and wholly-admiring opposition was one of her grandmother's secret satisfactions, and she combatted it only mechanically. "Have one, Grandma?"

The marriage of a man of twenty-seven and a girl of twenty who have lived for twelve years as brother and sister, is difficult to conceive.
John Jr., roared, and was ordered from the table by his father, while 'Lena, who stepped on her grandmother's toes to keep her from talking, was told by that lady "to keep her feet still." Along with the desert came ice-cream, which Mrs. Nichols had never before tasted, and now fancying that she was dreadfully burned, she quickly deposited her first mouthful upon her plate.
I don't advise you to go back to your grandmother's house, because you wouldn't anyhow and besides, you know your own business better than I do; only, of course, you'll have to write to her.
