"Yes, I did, after putting him on his word of honor never to breathe a word about the object of the cruise to anybody. I'd as lief have his word as any one's else bond." "What did he think about our chances in such an enterprise?" "Now, there's a thing that rather surprised me," replied the captain.
I'd just as lief it was a piano or a organ or what. "'I see in St. Louis once what they call a orchestrion , says Uncle Cal, 'that I judged was about the finest thing in the way of music ever invented. But there ain't room in this house for one. Anyway, I imagine they'd cost a thousand dollars. I reckon something in the piano line would suit Marilla the best.
It is wrong to trouble you longer. Agnes will take your place while you try a quadrille with me." "Oh, thank you," Maddy answered. "I am not tired in the least. I had as lief play till morning, provided they are satisfied with my time and my stock of music holds out."
"John," said she, elevating her voice so as to drown the noise of the cars, "I never thought on't till this minit, but I'd just as lief ride in the second-class cars as not, and it only costs half as much!" Mr. Livingstone colored crimson, and bade her go back, saying that if he paid the fare she needn't feel troubled about the cost.

Over the gate were written these words, in great letters as red as blood: "Who Enters here Shall Surely Die."
