Huh! an owl!" "Oh, I reckon we'll soon be able to settle that part of it, all right," said Max, soothingly, for he saw that his two friends were growing a little too earnest in their dispute.

You loved Clarence, and married him oh, don't think I'm rude, Rachael," the girl pleaded eagerly, as Rachael voiced an inarticulate protest, "because I'm so desperately in earnest, and s-s-so desperately unhappy!" Her voice broke on a rush of tears, but she commanded it, and hurried on.
"Such an insult!" stormed the lady, as she returned home in high dudgeon. "I might have been a nobody, the way they treated me. Dad shall hear of this; and I'll see that he puts them where they belong. The impudence! And after his t-treating me s-s-so!" she wept with chagrin, and malice that betokened no good to the rector and his little wife.
His face was purple. To Molly's lively imagination, his eyes appeared to move slowly out of his head, like a snail's. From the back of his throat came strange noises. "S-s-so " he stammered. He gulped, and tried again. "So this," he said, "so this ! So that was what was in that letter, eh?" Lord Dreever, a limp bundle against the banisters, smiled weakly. "Eh?" yelled Sir Thomas.

"And s-s-so your reverence thinks that, when you have put me down there, you will have done with me? Perhaps you will lay a stone on the top to pre-v-vent a r-resurrection 'after three days'? No fear, your reverence! I shan't poach on the monopoly in cheap theatricals; I shall lie as still as a m-mouse, just where you put me. And all the same, WE shall use field-guns."
"An' so was you, honey, when I 'ranged them things on the mantel. Lemme go an' git the other set an' compare 'em. That one I picked out is mighty purty."

The Professor was steering their boat, I thought, but it was impossible to be sure. Both men kept almost entirely out of sight. Then we caught the breeze again. It was puffy and uncertain, the forerunner of a squall. "We'll say good-bye to 'em now," exclaimed Spike, gleefully. "B-But we won't sh-shake that yacht s-s-so easy, l-look at 'em! H-Hoisting a j-j-jib, d-d-d-dod r-rabbit 'em!"
I can't think of anything, except death, that would fill me with more horror than the very idea of being made a Vestal. It makes me shiver now just to speak of it."
