"It's just the same old thing year in and year out. We know just exactly what is going to happen. We even know pretty well what presents we are going to get.

"I I hope not," Martin managed to say, his body suddenly seeming to be rooted in the ground. His feet dragged as he walked along. Amanda to marry Lvman Mertzheimer!

"Yet there are taller buildings, in other places, even in Europe," the statistician remarked.
"You can't expect to have adventures every minute anywhere," said Wilbur, "but even so, you're not standing on one spot like a sailor in a crow's nest, waiting for something to happen; you're in the saddle, riding from point to point all day long, sometimes when there is a trail and sometimes when there isn't, out in the real woods, not in poky, stuffy city streets.
