She sat forward in her chair, clutching her bag rather nervously. "Now, look here, Jo. Stell and I are here for a reason. We're here to tell you that this thing's going to stop." "Thing? Stop?" "You know very well what I mean. You saw me at the milliner's that day. And night before last, Ethel. We're all disgusted. If you must go about with people like that, please have some sense of decency."
The Countess went to the glass box in which she had kept Betsinda's old cloak and shoe this ever so long, and said, "Take those rags, you little beggar creature, and strip off everything belonging to honest people, and go about your business"; and she actually tore off the poor little delicate thing's back almost all her things, and told her to be off out of the house.
I could also take into account that the unreasonable distrust which she had yielded to of late had prevented her from asking Jean or Julie for the little coffer. This was the secret I understood it on the instant of the poor thing's impatience for my arrival, the secret also of the trouble I had witnessed. And now her strength had betrayed her.

If a thing's handsome and useful, and good cabinet-making, it's good enough for me." "Hadn't we better explore the whole place?" I suggested nervously. He had not even bolted the outer door.

"It's getting on the nerves uh them that own 'em a heap worse," Gene told him grimly, and piled more wood on the fire; for the cold bit through even the thick walls of the cabin when the flames in the fireplace died, and the door hinges were crusted deep with ice.

It's just the time for him to get the run of things, now while there's no work going on." "He'd catch on quick enough. It's not that.
