They can't go or playing without me I've got the ball." He took the package from his pocket. Its seals had already been broken. Untying the strings, he began carefully to unwrap the paper the thick yellow banking manila, and then the oiled inner wrapping. So finally he opened up the solid mass of what? He looked closer. Crisp, beautiful, one thousand dollar bills. Whew!
Then she saw her father coming into the yard with his arms full of parcels, and she was out of her chair and at the kitchen door to meet him. Andrew had brought as usual some dainties for his darling.

"You cannot possibly know how dreadful it is to be the only child of two intellectual people who expect one to be a credit," she excused her lack of appetite, nervously twitching the gilt cord about the package.

He drew back a little, first checking to see if the guard was watching, then he bent down and looked into the jar. He put a hand in and brought out the newspaper. He turned it over and hefted it. Then he started to unwrap it. The guard was at his side in a flash, watching. The reddish form of the cat came into view and the guard snatched it from his hands.
I confess I did my best to keep him in town till morning, but nothing'd do; he must get to the Inn at the Red Oak to-night. We had a hellish time getting here too, begging the lady's pardon; but here we are."
