Miss Georgina said it was stuff and nonsense, and I must 'What is she talking about? said Purcell to Dora, with an angry glance at Lucy. 'I want to take her to a dance, said Dora quietly, 'if you would let her come. There's one at the Mechanics' Institute next week, given by the Unicorn benefit society. Mrs. Alderman Head said I might go with her, and Lucy too if you'll let her come.
The ball was due to come down behind him. There was no time to think. Running at full speed as he was, Pitcher Dick rose in the air. It looked like an incredible leap -but he made it. His hands pulled the slow-moving popball down out of the air. Barely did Dick's feet touch the ground when he simply reached over and dropped the ball at Purcell.
To any but a legal mind the affair would seem to have resolved itself mainly into a competition between organ-players; but we know how absolutely lost to all sense of justice, fairness, reason and common sense the legal mind is. So Purcell played for Father Smith, and inevitably the organ built by Father Smith was thought the finer.
"Why, I'd believe in trying to point out the better road to Old Nick himself," replied Dave Darrin warmly. "Only, I don't believe in doing it in the preachy way -like some people do."

"Thar 's ants in yer short-sweetenin'! How could you-uns let sechez that happen!" "Oh, surely not," exclaimed Purcell, hastening to her side. But the fact could not be gainsaid; the neglected sugar was spoiled.
Her figure was that of a young goddess, and a goddess she looked as she swept disdainfully into Mr. Philip Slotman's office, shorthand notebook in her hand. "I want you to take a letter to Jarvis and Purcell, Miss Meredyth," he said. "Please sit down.

Morris, Q.C., and aided by Mr. John Curran and Mr. Purcell. The Court of Common Pleas was the stage; Chief Justice Monahan presiding with a special jury. The trial was expected to last a week, and not only the Court but the approaches to it were crowded.
There was just a shadowy hope that Aunt Lydia might go downstairs for something, that five minutes might be given her to snatch her treasure away.
