Rosemary, breathless from running, burst in at that juncture, the clean tablecloth under her arm. "Rosemary," said Mr. Oliver gravely, "Fannie has just told us that it was she who over-salted the soup at the Institute dinner you remember?" "You did?" cried Rosemary, turning to the other girl. "Did you take the needle-books you gave Shirley, too?" Fannie nodded.

Oh, Flask, for one red cherry ere we die!" "Cherries? I only wish that we were where they grow. Oh, Stubb, I hope my poor mother's drawn my part-pay ere this; if not, few coppers will now come to her, for the voyage is up."
