She spoke as though the mitten had already been identified.

School had begun, and Marty went with several of the bigger boys that had hung around Pringle's harness shop and the Inn stables. "That Nelse Haley is all right," the boy confided to his cousin.

"Miss Pringle," I said, "seems a pleasant girl. She's certainly pretty." "Poor little Tottie!" said Godfrey.

They were installed on board the houseboat Annabel Lee, instead of at Parker's Beach as Cleggett had originally intended, and the Red Cross flag was hoisted over that vessel.
Wayne and I are engaged to be married." "Indeed, Miss?" said Pringle, with a smile; and so seldom was this phenomenon seen to take place that Wayne noted for the first time that Pringle's teeth were false.
