"I am not the greatest-hearted and most capable woman in town," retorted his wife, clicking her needles as she went on knitting. In Mr. Sprague's house on the opposite side of the road, Squire Fisher was relating some old tales of bygone Portchester days. "I knew Agatha when she was a girl," he avowed.

He is an Australian, and the very greatest-hearted man I ever met.
I'm just Gentleman Geoff's Billie, a waif raised by the greatest-hearted man that ever lived, but I've got some pride myself. I don't want any man who hasn't s-spunk enough to ask me!" "Willa! Oh, my dearest, will you !" "Here comes Winnie Mason!" She drew her hands from his and sprang up with a nervous tinkle of laughter.
But Gudrun had no will to live longer after this deed so wrought, but nevertheless her ending day was not yet come upon her.
