"Boys are never afraid of ghosts or or anything." "Oh, I won't be afraid not if you're with me, anyway. Isn't it fun to have a secret? And they don't know we heard about it!" Rose added. "Won't they be s'prised if we find the ghost?" "I guess they will," agreed Russ.
The man sat down, looking around the room. "It is good to be here," he said. Uncle William, with a hand on either knee, surveyed him over his spectacles. "I saw 't was you 'fore you landed."

And he's so pretty they'll keep him for a chief to ride; a big, fat chief, with a gay blanket and a feather headdress, and red and blue paint on his face. Won't Twinkling Hoofs be s'prised at all that? But never mind, Pippin; papa will let you ride the old grey horse!"
"Kind of got a bone to pick with McKettrick, eh?" "Maybe." "Tell you what I'll do," said Scattergood. "I'll sell you forty-nine per cent of the stock at a hunderd and twenty. Stock to stand in my name till the road's ready to operate, I don't want it known I've been sellin' any.... Shouldn't be s'prised if you was able to pick up control one way and another but I hain't goin' to sell it to you."
"Haven't any little son my mistake!" Then he turned the open gig-lamp on me and began again. "S'prised at you, John; little son is the most won'erful thing any father and mother could possess with the possible 'ception of a li'l daughter ain't that so, Mrs. John?
