There's a whole nest of them here. See how the pipe from this one leads into the stream?" "What's the wire for?" said Tom. "Oh, that's so's they can open this little cock here, see?

"Do you mean me?"
"He's always up to tricks like that." While the boys worked about the camp preparing beds for the night and clearing away the remains of the supper Tommy remained close to the side of the trench, asking of his experiences on the way in and telling many exciting stories of highwaymen, the most of which had origin in his own brain. "Tommy'll have that fellow so scared that he can't sleep!"
"Well, there has been a thaw, as you know, and there isn't enough ice in Lake Metoka on which to sail the Bird. I guess Tommy'll have to wait until you get back there, Bert. We'll have more cold weather yet." "Oh, are we going to leave New York?" asked Nan sorrowfully. "We can't live here," said her mother. "We've stayed longer now than I thought we would.
"It's good yu' come this forenoon," Lin said to me. "I'd not have had the heart to get up another dinner just for myself. Let's eat rich!"
