Don't you see, Philip?" "Yes, my boy, I see. Go on! When did he ask to be presented to your sister?" "W-who told you that?" asked the boy with an angry flush.
"Beh-hold, it is I; w-who else could it be?" she faltered, and it sounded so irresistibly funny that the listeners went into spasms of mirth. Carmen crept back to her place and hid her face in Katherine's lap while Jo Severance passed on to the next "portrait." Climbing up an enormous tree stump, she flung out her arms and began to shriek wildly, waving back an imaginary group of girls.
As he settled down in a pile of leaves for a short rest, he heard something rustling in the bushes nearby. "Wha " he said. "What's that? Who's there?" "D-don't hurt me, Mr. Lion," came a voice.

On the road he fell in with Swart the drover, who told him of the reported alchemy. "Gold would be common as fodder if any man could make it," Swart growled, "and when a man's wise beyond others in the art of healing, 'tis wicked folly to burn him alive for't."

At these words Curly's eyes fairly started from their sockets, and the perspiration poured down his face in great beads. "W-what d'ye know about that?" he gasped. "W-who are you, anyway?"
