You keep your fly-trap shut, my fine fellow, and make no mousy sounds to me, or it'll be the worse for you, I can tell you!" "Come, Mr. Ocock, don't be too hard on the boy." "Not be 'ard on 'im? When I've got the nasty galoon on me 'ands again like this? Chucks up the good post I git 'im in Kilmore, without with your leave or by your leave. Too lonely for 'is lordship it was.
"But it isn't like that now," said Pauline, finding herself getting very red and angry. "Well, so much the better for you. And did I make the little mousy-pousy angry?

I don't think it is fair." Charlotte sighed. "Nobody will ever want to adopt me, because I've mousy hair and freckles," she said. "But somebody may want you some day, Maggie. You have such lovely black hair." "But it isn't curly," said Maggie forlornly. "And the matron won't let me put it up in curl papers at night. I just wish I was Lizzie." Charlotte shook her head. "I don't.

A short time before no little excitement had been created by the appearance of six young Englishmen in knickerbockers, footing it with knapsack on shoulder.

And yet you see, Charlie's ranch wants some one capable to look after it, doesn't it? It's kind of mousy. Big Brother Bill is sure to be particular coming from the east."
