Gridley, you've seen them millers fly round and round a candle, and you know how it ginerally comes out. Men is men and gals is gals. I would n't trust no man, not ef he was much under a hundred year old, and as for a gal !" "Mulieri ne mortuae quidem credendum est," said Mr. Gridley. "You wouldn't trust a woman even if she was dead, hey, Nurse?"
"You would n't admire her, if you knew what she wrote here about you," said Fanny, whose eyes had strayed to the written page opposite, and lingered there long enough to read something that excited her curiosity. "What is it?" asked Tom, forgetting his honorable resolves for a minute. "She says, 'I try to like Tom, and when he is pleasant we do very well; but he don't stay so long.

Paolo looked at the young man cautiously, almost suspiciously. "He don't keep no jewels nor no money in his chamber.
Peter looked at her and then, quickly, for caution's sake, looked elsewhere. "But there were other things to be taken into account," he said. The Duchessa raised her eyes.

I c'd marry him without waitin' for father, too, 'cause a minister could n't in reason find fault over another man's bein' always to home.

It's this afternoon 's the butcher 'n' the man 's mends church spires 's comin' together to get the cow out o' the mill-wheel. The whole c'mmunity 's goin' down to look on, 'n' I can't see no good 'n' s'fficient reason why you should n't go too. I 'll help you dress, 'n' we 'll scurry along right now. 'F we meet Mr.

Trudging home to dinner, tired and disappointed, poor Polly received another blow, which hurt her more than the loss of all her pupils.

"Blessed innocence! Don't you wish you were a child, and dared tell what you want?" murmured Fanny.
"But, hang it all, people don't go a-gypsying with French maids!" "Why not?" she demanded. She asked the question quite honestly.
