From Daddy Horton's office came a telephone message that he must come and see a man on very important business before nine o'clock, and he had only time to eat his breakfast and run for a car. But Grandpa Horton promised him that he would see to the Parkneys. That was their name Mr. and Mrs. Parkney and Bob, Joe, Elsie, Alice, Kitty, Ned, and Charlie Parkney.
I've been on the Continent with my lady, through all manner of curious places; and you know, when I was a child, Squire Horton's daughters taught me to speak a little French, and I found it so nice to be able to talk to the people abroad." "Genteel!" cried Luke Marks, with a hoarse laugh; "who wants you to be genteel, I wonder?
He thought of the painted harridans, the bare-shouldered skeletons, whom some of his young friends were obliged to own in the same capacity, and he was thankful that he could reverence his father's mother. 'That is the best news I have heard for a long time, Maulevrier, said her ladyship graciously; 'better medicine for my nerves than any of Mr. Horton's preparations. If Mr.
It would seem as if Providence had taken the utmost pains to show us that the essential truth and the moral and religious value of this history could not be identified with any theory of verbal or even plenary inspiration.

He went away because he had a suspicion that Alton would be wanting him, which was borne out when he found his comrade saddling a horse. "Where are you going, Harry? We are not half way through with the sawlogs," he said. "No," said Alton dryly. "Still, if you work hard enough, you and Tom should get them into the water before it's dark to-night. I'm going right down to Horton's."
"You'll be so busy playing with the new things you'll find up at Grandpa Horton's that you'll probably never remember the toys at home. Then when you come back they will seem like new ones." Sunny Boy was disappointed. His kiddie-car was the hardest to give up. The woolly dog, too, was very dear to him. Mrs.

The best child that ever lived! Help me to live this night!" "Carrie, little woman, if only you won't take on so. There's every reason to hope for the best. The doctor assured us." "How long before we know? Go get Doctor Allison over. Ask Roy Kemble to run over to Horton's and telephone for Doctor Birch. I want them here. My baby!"
Butt stirred up a new trouble by promptly coming to Miss Ray and bidding her move out of that stuffy hole below and take Major Horton's quarters, and bring Miss Porter with her "if that was agreeable."
His answer was a slam of the door in his face. "Let us go to Granny Horton's," said one of the boys; "she has not gone to bed yet." "O," said Willie, "you know she has nothing but what mother sends her, or some of the neighbors. It would be a shame.
