It is customary here to toll the bell at the death of a person, at the hour of his death, whether A. M. or P. M. Not, however, I suppose, if it happen in deep night. "There are three times in a man's life when he is talked about, when he is born, when he is married, and when he dies." "Yes," said Orrin S , "and only one of the times has he to pay anything for it out of his own pocket."
Hugh, uncle Orrin said he would send it. Now for those blessed pineknots. Aunt Lucy, you shall be honoured with the one whole candle the house contains." The table soon cleared away, the basket of fat fuel was brought in; and one or two splinters being delicately insinuated between the sticks on the fire, a very brilliant illumination sprang out.
"There's no use crying over spilt milk," she said. "It's too late." "Of course it is," said the youth, who saw visions of a fine dinner now, and such invigorating talk as would result in a reunion after the show. He was greatly taken with Carrie. "We'll drive down to Delmonico's now and have something there, won't we, Orrin?" "To be sure," replied Orrin, gaily. Carrie thought of Hurstwood.
"O nothing, uncle Orrin," said Fleda, looking grave again however; "I was thinking that I had been talking too much to-day." "Talking too much? why whom have you been talking to?" "O, nobody but Mr. Carleton." "Mr. Carleton! why you didn't say six and a quarter words while he was here." "No, but I mean in the library, and walking home." "Talking too much!

Either complete your perjury by disowning the Colonel altogether, or else give up Orrin.

"'Serve you jolly well right," said Orrin, "you cribbers!" "This will never do," said Stalky. "We can't maintain our giddy prestige, Orrin, de-ah, if you make these remarks." They wrapped themselves lovingly about the boy, thrust him to the opened window, and drew down the sash to the nape of his neck.
They knew about where the Antilles went down, and the first thing he wanted to do was to locate the wreck exactly.
