"The case against you is squashed." "The Pooles will have to let it drop," added the shipowner's son. "And I am mighty glad of it." "I hope you are right," said Dave, and his face showed his relief. They had to tell Ben all about what had happened. Then the latter wanted to see the bear target, and the crowd ended by doing some more target practicing.
The duffer is going to join the tennis-club he was at the Pooles' dance. I was simply flabbergasted. He's a duffer."
On that day she shed bitter tears. Lydia spared her all that was most painful. She said that the old man had fallen insensible by the Pooles' house, had been taken in by them, and had died. She said that just before the end he uttered Thyrza's name. And Thyrza had thought too seldom of Mr. Boddy, to whom she and her sister owed so much.

Lydia yielded, though seemingly with reluctance. They went down into the kitchen, where the two young Pooles were at an uproarious game.
That Trix girl is so mean I know she'll just work us out of any invitation to the party." Agnes' eyes flashed and it looked as though a storm was coming. But Ruth remained tranquil. "There will be other parties," the older girl said. "It won't kill us to miss this one." "Speak for yourself!" complained Agnes. "It just kill us with some of the girls. The Pooles are very select.
