Mary listened and thought, questioned, and desired explanations at length, begged she would allow her to ponder the thing a little: she could hardly at once venture to say anything. Hesper laughed, and said she was taking a small matter too seriously concluding from Mary's hesitation that she had but perplexed her, and that she could be of no use to her in the difficulty.

I picked a spray of rosy bell-heather from the bank of the river, and pressed it between the leaves of the book in memory of Sheila.

But I imagine you have nograsped the whole position.
'Nothing venture, nothing have, is a very true word," I said, "and when a man have only got to open his mouth to win his heart's desire, he's a good bit of a fool, Greg, to keep it shut." I couldn't say no more than that, and he nodded and answered me that he didn't know but what I might be right.
Few would have had the courage to venture thus into the very power of the savage but Kenneth Gordon possessed a strong arm and a hopeful heart, to give the lips he loved unborrowed bread; this nerved him against danger, and, 'spite of the warning of friends, Kenneth pitched his tent twelve miles from the nearest settlement.
