Ralph Romer it was who had braved the dangers of "brier and brake" to find the bright holly berries with which Aunt Hally had decorated the cheery little parlor for the occasion; and it was with Ralph Romer I danced the oftenest on that famous night.
"Look at those two infatuated lovers, Mother," said Kent. "They look as though they had left this mundane sphere for good and all. I believe they talk in blank verse with occasional lapses into rhyme. "'What kind er slippers do the angels wear? Chillun, chillun, chillun, won't yer foller me? Don' wear none fer they tred on air, Hally, Hally, Hally, Hallyloodja!"
Hally didn't come cauthe he played ball; and then the man'th boy tied me on." Charlie made up a lip. "Let's take him out to the swing," said Prudy. "That will wake him up, and then we'll make a lady's chair and carry him home." "Don't want to thwing," lisped Charlie. "What for you don't?" said wee Katie. "Cauthe the ladieth will thee me." "O, you's a little scat crow!"
He has fought a score of times for the Fair City's right; let us show we can once to avenge his wrong. Hally ho! brave citizens, St. Johnston's hunt is up!"
'The one who took the diamonds, she replied. 'And I hope they will. He ought to be found and punished. Think what harm he has done to me by letting them accuse me, Harold answered, indignantly.

Dave and Dan looked at each other before the former replied: "Oh, well, Hally, brace up! The ships searched for us a long time, and some launches were put out after us. But they couldn't see our little heads above the big waves, and so " "They've gone away and left us?" queried Hallam, guessing at once.
He shall not live here, for Harold could never get along with mother and Tom; but we will build a house together, Hally and I, with Jerrie to help and plan build one where the cottage stands, or near it, so Jerrie can still see the old Tramp House she is so fond of.
And we're making senators and governors and state officers and indeed, I may say, prominent citizens out of them. Why not give Hally her show? You damn cold-nosed Yankee Brahmins you have Faith and you have Hope, but you have no more Charity than a sausage-grinder."
No, that could not be, for as he brought her handkerchief and bent still closer to her, she whispered to him: 'I am not mistaken, Hally. I am going to die, but you have made the last days of my life very, very happy.
If there's any choice in deaths, I guess that's as good and manly a one as we could choose." "Poor old Hally won't know much about it, anyway, I guess," remarked Darrin, who seemed unnaturally cool. Possibly he was a bit dazed by the stunning nature of the fate that seemed about to overtake them. "Maybe the ships will go by us in their final get-away," proposed Dan Dalzell very soberly.
