"Let's name them all that," said Betty. "We'll be taking them away to different places soon, so it will not make any difference."
Robby told Crowther what Haughton had suggested, and smiling, the latter said: "Tell him not to worry about me; better look out for himself." On the next play Crowther took the ball and went around Harvard's end for forty yards, scoring a touchdown.
"I want so much to thank him for saving me from being drowned, and for coming to ask about me." The first fine day after Norman was allowed to go out, the laird kindly undertook to drive him and Fanny and their mamma and granny over to old Alec's cottage.

'Won't you come and see me, Robby? cried Mrs Brown. 'Oho, won't you ever come and see me? 'Yes, I tell you! Yes, I will! returned the Grinder. 'That's my own Rob!
