For I'll have to go, in fifteen or twenty years more," he sighed. Ollie made no reply. She was standing with her back still turned toward him, stripping down her sleeves. But the sigh which she gave breath to sounded loud in Isom's ears. Perhaps he thought she was contemplating with concern the day when he must give over his strivings and hoardings, and leave her widowed and alone.
Will you talk to Aunt Ollie? Will you let me show you, and explain, and prove to you?" "I won't be a party to anything that would even remotely threaten to lose Aunt Ollie's money for her," she said. "She's got nobody on earth but me. It's all mine in the end. Why not let me have this wonderful chance with it? Kate, will you?" he begged. "I'll think about it," she conceded.
When Young Matt first knew that Sammy had sent Ollie back to the city with no promise to follow, he took to the woods, and returned only after miles of tramping over the wildest, roughest part of the country. The big fellow said no word, but on his face was a look that his father understood, and the old mountaineer felt his own blood move more quickly at the sight.
"Well, what would you think of you and George taking the land, working it on the shares, and letting me have this room, an' live in Walden, awhile?" Kate sat straight up in bed: "Oh, Aunt Ollie!

But then she adds, "You and Ollie and Bob Templar, and, oh, all Peter's friends."
"I am very busy these days, working on a case. But I try to find time to get down to Siegfried Harvey's; I seem to get along with him." "They tell me he goes in for horses," said Lucy. "He has a splendid stable," he answered. "It was good of Ollie to bring him round," said she. "I have certainly jumped into the midst of things. What do you think I'm going to do to-morrow?"

Ollie was cold with apprehension as Joe approached the point in his recital where the danger lay for her.
For myself, I can never remember the time when I did not love Malachi." Before her father could answer, Margaret had her hand on Oliver's shoulder. "Don't tell all your good stories to father now," she said, with a grateful smile. "Wait until after dinner, when we can all hear them. Come, Mr. Horn, I know you want to get the dust out of your eyes." Then in an aside, "Don't mind him, Ollie.
