It's much pleasanter that way, I think."

"But," said the strange young man, pressing forward impetuously and gazing into her black eyes, "you look tired; 'tis a shame to work you so."

"Tom," said I, "do you take Timmie Lovejoy an' Will Watt with you.
"That's just what proves it of no importance," said Norton. "What is it?" "David and I want to see Mrs. Staples to find out something we want to know."
