Why didn't he propose to her instead of to Elsa, if he liked her so much better?" "Hush! hush! my good Mariska, please. Elsa might hear you." The two women went on talking in whispers.
"I'm tokened to Mercy Gale, for instance; she looks after the warping wheels, and if that girl didn't say her prayers some fine morning, she'd be as useless as if she hadn't eat her breakfast. 'Tis the feminine nature that craves for support." A very old man stood and peered into the grave.
In fact, they was tokened on the quiet unknown to her father, and Nathan hoped to marry her some day and little knew she'd forgot all about her solemn promise." "I'm very sorry for you. I'll think about this. It don't look hopeful, for Peter Hacker's very hard all through where women are concerned. There's no milk of human kindness in him, and he don't like me.

Anyway, you 'm tokened to Chris and will be one of the family some day perhaps when Mother Coomstock dies, so I'll leave my secret with you. But not a soul else not mother even. So you must swear you'll never tell to man or woman or cheel what I've done and wheer I be gone." "I'll swear if you like." "By the livin' God." "By any God you believe is alive." "Say it, then."

By screen and veranda the blinding sunshine was subdued to a cool, dim radiance. The sheen of pearl push-buttons caught Grief's eye. "Storage batteries, by George, run by the windmill!" he exclaimed as he pressed the buttons. "And concealed lighting!"
