The white sails of our boats will fleck every lake and sea and river with their rich burdens of trade, pouring a fabulous and a willing wealth into the coffers of the king.

At any rate, they were soon snapping and snarling over it and my snow-shoes. Gobble-de-gobble, yip, yap, snap, growl, snarl, gobble the meat was all gone in a moment, like little Red Riding Hood." "Why, grandpapa! The wolf didn't eat little Red Riding Hood. The boy came in time don't you remember?" "Perhaps you never read my Red Riding Hood, Jenny," said the old gentleman, laughing.
