"I don't think she's mad," said Radmore frankly, "but she's a pretty vicious brute, Timmy. Is this the first time she's ever flown at anyone?" He looked searchingly at his godson. "The very first time of all," answered the boy passionately. "I know why Josephine flew at Mrs. Crofton at least she didn't fly at her at Mrs. Crofton.

So they remained over against one another, seeming respectively to question with a yearning desire. But the moments were flitting, and each second seemed to emphasize the silence between them.

But ther' ain't no tellin', an' we're slack since the harvest. I 'lows the notion's tol'ble. Mebbe they'll be quiet some now Rosebud's gone." There was a quiet emphasis on Seth's final speculation.

"Eva, I have not been honorable with you I have held you not as a protector I have held you selfishly I love you." "Lucy, where are you?" the banker called.

Darrell cried, as soon as they were within speaking distance; "say, but this is glorious to see you here! How long have I kept you waiting?" "A few hours, but that does not matter; it does us good to have to stop and call a halt on ourselves once in a while. How are you, my son?"
