"Does he see us, little brother?" whispered Mooka, quivering with excitement and panting from the rapid climb. "See us? sartin, little sister; but that only make him want peek um some more," said the little hunter.
Well, I've got you now where you can't peek much," came the gruff answer. "Won't you leave the candle?" asked Rose. "I guess not," he answered with a little laugh, and pointed toward the keg. "Look at that keg! Well, it's full of powder, and powder's too sca'se an article these days to leave a candle in the same room with it." "But we can't see to eat," pleaded Anne.
"There is a book over there," Jones, who was watching him, cut in. "It is Seneca's 'De animæ tranquilitate. Take a peek at it. It will tell you, what it has told me, that whatever happens, happens because it had to happen and because it could not happen otherwise. There is no sounder lesson in mental tranquillity."

I might get him to ask Sue Northwick, and get her ideas." "Has Mr. Wilmington known the Northwicks long?" Annie asked. "He used to go to their Boston house when he was at Harvard."
"My shild," murmured madame, "yes, yes, it is the grand peek- neek; I, Clarisse Delchasse, will protect you." Rejoiced that matters were at least no worse with his passengers, John Eddring helped them from the boat, and as he did so caught sight of the tears which stood in Miss Lady's eyes.
At this expected climax, Dorcas stood aside, and allowed her visitor to serve herself with beans.
