I've had the tending of him these ten days past, and a gratefuller, pleasanter animal I never met with, and 'twould be worth a gentleman's while to give a five-pound note for him, and let him have a chance.

"But I'd be ever so much gratefuller if if you'd made just one of them with puffed sleeves. Puffed sleeves are so fashionable now. It would give me such a thrill, Marilla, just to wear a dress with puffed sleeves." "Well, you'll have to do without your thrill. I hadn't any material to waste on puffed sleeves. I think they are ridiculous-looking things anyhow. I prefer the plain, sensible ones."

Is it nothing that I have taken all the trouble to be born and grow up and live just to come here for you?" "Perhaps I could be gratefuller if there were any prospect of a fire."

You must not mind about anything, because it sets up too strong a reaction in me.
Surely, though she would not be his wife, she had been John's best friend! his good angel. Her heart clamored for some warmer, gratefuller word that might justify her to herself.
