"Charity, you know, or something like that." "All right," said Midge; "let's make things and then sell them and get some money for the Dunns." "What could we do?" asked Molly. "We couldn't have another bazaar, and, besides, I think the Dunns have enough money for the present." "Don't let's work," said Stella, who was not very enterprising; "at least, not when we're up here.
Ebley would be extremely unlikely to allow Stella out of her sight in any case, he could not imagine how his fiancee and the Russian could have found a chance to speak and even a foreigner could not persuade a woman into this course of action in half an hour's talk at the Embassy!
Paul and Stella never forgot, to the end of their lives, that awful time of waiting, when they were face to face with death, their hearts filled with agony at the sight of each other in the clutches of that fearful morass, and at the thought of their parents' grief.
No sea that ever ran can sink a canoe. Wood is buoyant. So long as she could hold on, the submerged craft would keep her head and shoulders above water. But it was numbing cold. Fed by glacial streams, Roaring Lake is icy in hottest midsummer. What with paddling and bailing and the excitement of the struggle, Stella had wasted no time gazing about for other boats.
I thought it my duty, as one of your legal advisers, to accompany Father Benwell on his return to Paris in charge of the will in case you might feel disposed to make any alteration."

Swift returned to Ireland, and soon afterward he invited Stella to join him there. Swift was now thirty-four years of age, and Stella a very attractive girl of twenty.

"It was bad enough," wailed Marjorie, "when we were all wide awake and could be frightened together; but with Stella asleep, or whatever she is, it's perfectly horrible." "She isn't asleep," said Molly, scrutinizing the pale little face, "but she's stunned with the shock, and I'm sure I don't know what to do. We ought to have smelling-salts, or something, to bring her to."

Westcott saw her face tensing under the strain, saw it grow wan and white, and, reaching down he gripped the fingers that clenched the pencil.
