The girl was delighted and shook the tree. First one apple fell, then another. "That is enough," said Zarè, "hurry home." Thanking the months, she returned joyfully. Helen marveled and the stepmother wondered at seeing the fruit. "Where did you gather them?" asked the stepsister. "There are more on the mountain top," answered Marouckla.
Kelsey, and though she had so far forgiven her stepsister as to write to her occasionally, she still cherished toward her a feeling of animosity for having stolen away her lover. On his return to Rochester J.C. De Vere had fully expected that his engagement would be the theme of every tongue, and he had prepared himself for the attack.
Kelsey's family; for, touched with pity, that lady had offered to receive her, and during her brief stay treated her with every possible attention.

After the chores were done, he lingered a little while around the barns, getting his courage keyed up to the necessary pitch. Chester Stephens was an orphan without kith or kin in the world, unless his father's stepsister, Mrs.
The two girls were in their bedroom, and in the darkness and stillness of the night Janetta put her arms round Nora's neck and told her of her mother's besetting weakness. She was surprised and almost alarmed at the effect upon her stepsister. Nora shuddered two or three times and drew several painful breaths; but she did not cry, and Janetta had expected an agony of tears.
How she, Marcia, would take the place of elder sister, with only little Harriet and the boys, their stepsister and brothers, left? Was Kate sad over the thought of going so far away from them, or was she feeling suddenly the responsibility of the new position she was to occupy and the duties that would be hers?
