Phronsie deserted the fascinating bird, and began to smooth Dick's head with both hands. "Do let me bathe it," she begged. "I'll get the Pond's Extract." "No, I won't," said Dick. "It smells awfully, and I've had so much of it for my leg. I'm all right, Phronsie. See his wings now he's stretching." But Phronsie was not to be diverted from her purpose. "I'll get bay rum," she said. "May I?"
At eight o'clock, disguised behind a pair of blue goggles, Louis headed for Miss Monon's door, glad that the cozy corner was so dimly lighted. When he arrived she bathed his battle-scarred features with hamamelis, which is just the same as Pond's Extract, but doesn't cost so much, and told him the other girls had acted foolishly.
On this particular day, when she had left Miss Trigg reading in her favorite summer-house high on the rocky hill, and Nancy had tripped lightly down to the path that skirted the pond's steep edge, there was a boy doing just what she had so wished to do herself.
Nick resolved to settle this small point, if possible, immediately. It was of no use to ask the man who had driven Mrs. Stevens' horse. Of course, he would lie, if there was any need of it. Pond's rooms again. He remembered that just after Mrs. Stevens had arrived, a wagon belonging to the colonel had driven into the grounds. He quietly looked up the two servants who had been in this wagon.
Pa and Ma went into their room, and I guess they annointed themselves with vasaline, and Pond's extract, and I went and got into my bed, cause it was cold out in the hall, and the cat had warmed my bed as well as it had warmed Pa.
However, get a teacher; it saves much time and Pond's Extract. Before taking final leave of me, my instructor inquired concerning my physical strength, and I was able to inform him that I hadn't any. He said that that was a defect which would make up-hill wheeling pretty difficult for me at first; but he also said the bicycle would soon remove it.
Hsiang-yuen immediately put away the tea-cup and added: On the pond's surface, it allows itself to float. At the first blush of dawn with effulgence it shines. Tai-yue recited with alacrity the couplet: In confused flakes, it ceaseless falls the whole night long. Troth one forgets that it implies three feet of cold.
"Why, there's one of my diamond pins!" she exclaimed. "How on earth did it come to be there?" Well, if Mrs. Pond was surprised, she wasn't a bit more so than Nick Carter. The pin referred to was the one which had been stolen from the cushion in Mrs. Pond's dressing-room not ten minutes before. "Why, this is impossible," cried Mrs. Pond. "I left that pin with the two others like it in my room."
Already I could discern the black outlines of the willows on the pond's edge, and the light in my window peeped out at me through the apple-trees in the orchard peeped at me, and hid again, like the eye of some man keeping watch on me when suddenly I heard behind me the faint swish of the rapidly parted air, and something at once embraced and snatched me upward, as a buzzard pounces on and snatches up a quail.... It was Alice sweeping down upon me.
Anne awoke to find raindrops pattering against her window and shadowing the pond's gray surface with widening rings; hills and sea were hidden in mist, and the whole world seemed dim and dreary. Anne dressed in the cheerless gray dawn, for an early start was necessary to catch the boat train; she struggled against the tears that WOULD well up in her eyes in spite of herself.
