"Has he been following Frank Muller's example, and proposing to you too?" "No-o," said Bessie, "but" and here she rose, and, sitting on a stool by her elder sister's chair, rested her forehead against her knee "but I love him, and I believe that he loves me.
"No-o," confessed her chum, who was not looking at all where Ruth pointed. "Where are your eyes?" Ruth cried sharply. "Nell is too lazy to stand up and look," laughed Tom. "I see them. Why! there's quite a bunch and they're running." "Where? Where?" Helen now demanded, rising to look. "Oh, goosy!" laughed Ruth, in some vexation. "Right ahead. Surely you can see them now?"
"No-o," said Parloe, slowly. "It has your initials on it," said Helen, quickly. "That's odd, ain't it?" returned Parloe, standing where he was and not offering to touch the box. "But other people have the same initials that I have." His grin grew to huge proportions, and he looked so sly that nothing but his high, bony nose kept his two little eyes from running together and making one eye of it.
"I'd give anything to know for sure that he's alive and safe!" was Billy's rueful rejoinder. "I've heard all sorts of stories about what rough-necks like those smugglers do to any one that butts in on their game!" "You don't believe they'd kill him?" "No-o, hardly that. But they might " "The worst of it is," interrupted Alec, "we don't even know that he's alive. He might have been drowned or "
"Eh? . . . Oh, you mean because I smoke. Say, YOU'RE not silly enough to be down on cigarettes the way grandfather is, are you?" "No-o, I'm not down on them, especially. I'm not very well acquainted with them." "Neither is he. He never smoked one in his life. It's just country prejudice, that's all." "Well, I live in the country, too, you know." "Yes, but you're different."
"That was surely going some!" said Anthony, breathing hard. "Hurt?" "No-o!" said Sammy. But she leaned against the tall, big fellow, as he stood beside her, and was glad of his arm about her shoulders. They had known each other by sight for years, but this was the first speech between them.
He paused and rubbed his chin. His lips were smiling, but his eyes were not. Sylvester noted their expression, and guessed many things. "They haven't been disagreeable, I hope?" he asked. "No-o. No, I wouldn't want to say that. They're young and and, well, I ain't the kind they've been used to. Caroline's a nice girl. She is, sure.

His answer was obvious and had nothing to do with gurgling brooks, or with ferns and shadowed pools. "It sure ain't, Miss. Might you be looking for somebody in particular?" "No-o I'm just here. It would be a poor place to look for anybody, wouldn't it?"
Not but what I've had good ones since, but 'twas different then, seems' though. She was the ch'ice of my youth, ye see. Yes, sir; Vesty is a good name, and that's a good gal, if I know anything about gals. She's no kin to you, she said." "No; none whatever." "Nor yet you ain't keepin' company with her?" "No-o!" cried Geoffrey, wincing. "Ain't you asked her?" "No! please don't "
I'm not trying to find out what the trouble is but I wish you'd remember that I'm ready to do anything in the world that I can. You won't misunderstand that, I'm sure." "No-o," said Marian slowly. "But you see, there's nothing that you can do except, perhaps, make things worse for me." Then, to lighten that statement, she smiled at him.
