We could get the Peter Thompsons there, and my evening dresses and slippers and things." The "evening dresses" amused Miss Clyde. "I am afraid you did not read the school catalogue very carefully, Blue Bonnet. It especially requested simplicity of dress." "I know it did, Aunt Lucinda, but you saw how sweetly the girls were gowned at dinner.
In the month of August a very malignant fever made its appearance at Thompsons Island, which threatened the destruction of our station there. Many perished, and the commanding officer was severely attacked.
True to her type, Julie would not even expose an enemy. The Spurgeons and the Thompsons were feudists, and had time and again made war on each other for several generations, and it was their policy not to talk, but to let their rifles talk for them. "What you-all goin' t' do?" "We are going on, of course," announced Lieutenant Wingate. "You-all shore'll git lammed if ye do," warned Julie.
I have helped too many hundreds of children into this world, and have carried too many of them through the measles, whooping-cough, chicken-pox and the like to be so moved by a mere boy."

West stared. "You are carrying matters with a high hand, sir," he sneered. "Oh, no; I am acting very leniently," said Uncle John.
While pulling on your gloves, however, it occurs to you that the Thompsons are idiots; that they never have supper; and that you will be expected to jump the baby. You curse the Thompsons and decide not to go. By this time you feel completely crushed. You bury your face in your hands and think you would like to die and go to heaven.
But who is the bride? you will ask, and ask you may; but you will not be a bit the wiser when I tell you Miss Thompson. Now your heads go to Clonfin, or to Thompsons near Dublin, or in the County of Meath. This is one you never heard of at Mr. Armstrong's, of Moydow; and she was married yesterday to the eldest son of Baron Greene. At the breakfast, when Mr.
You think you will write your letters, but after sticking at "Dearest Auntie: I find I have five minutes to spare, and so hasten to write to you," for a quarter of an hour, without being able to think of another sentence, you tumble the paper into the desk, fling the wet pen down upon the table-cloth, and start up with the resolution of going to see the Thompsons.
