"N-o, marm, somehow I couldn't make up my mind to put it in the fire; it was such a pretty face, and so like Miss Richards, and I've been wanting a picture of her ever since she came here, only I thought maybe she'd resent it if I asked her for one; and so I pasted it together as well as I could, and tacked it up in my room," the girl explained, volubly, and concluded by meekly adding: "I hope there was no harm in it, marm."
"Why, you was red hot on it the other day, my lad." "Yes, but I've been thinking a great deal about it since, Jem; and it seems to me that it would be too cowardly to run now we are king's sailors." "But not if you were going to be punished for doing nothing." "N-o, Jem," said Don hesitatingly. "And for being hit as the captain hit you."
"N-o no," said I, with some hesitation. "It is all so different." "At any rate," said he, "one thing I think I can answer for: whatever sentiment there is, it is real and general; it is not confined to people very specially refined.
I reckon I may travel some," she said, after a moment of hesitation. "With your guardian and his family?" "N-o; they're going to Europe, but I don't care to go with them." "But you surely cannot travel by yourself," Katherine observed, in surprise, while she regarded the averted face opposite her curiously, an unaccountable feeling of uneasiness taking possession of her.

"He spoke of him once or twice." "Anything especial?" "N-o." There had been a slight hesitation. The next instant, Arlt felt Thayer's keen eyes upon him. "Is anything wrong with Lorimer?"

"That was unwise, not to say foolish of you," said Mrs. Farnum, deprecatingly, but with a throb of exultation.
"Nothing is the matter except that those everlasting people haven't gone to Spain yet, as they said they would, and Ned seems to keep on seeing them," replied Mrs. Ashe, petulantly. "But, dear Polly, what difference does it make? And they never did promise you to go on any particular time, did they?" "N-o, they didn't; but I wish they would, all the same.
