"You're just copy-cats," she declared, with a withering scorn that brought Graham to Gyp's defence. No wonder Jerry never found a moment in the Westley home dull! "You needn't think," he shot across the table at Isobel, "that 'cause you have waves in your hair you're the whole ocean!" "Funny little boy," Isobel retorted, trying hard to hold back her anger.
Charmian said, Oh, how much she should like to see it, and Mrs. Westley said she must show it her some time. Cornelia thought Mrs. Westley very pretty, but she decided that she did not care to see Ludlow's picture of her. His studio stood a little back from the sidewalk; it was approached by a broad sloping pavement, and had two wide valves for the doorway.
I think things ought to be divided up in this world and every fellow given an equal chance." John Westley laid his hand on the boy's shoulder. "Real justice is the hardest thing to find in this world, sonny. But keep the thought of it always in your mind and look out for the rights of the other fellow, then you'll never make the mistakes Uncle Peter did."
Up about the Narrows would be a good place to say farewell," he concluded thoughtfully. We had listened patiently enough, but this was too summary. Westley Keyts is our butcher, a good, honest, energetic, downright business man with a square forehead and a blunt jaw and red hair that bristles with challenges.
Lieutenant Kinraid, who had shared his captain's daring adventure off the coast of France three years before, who had been a prisoner with him and Westley Wright, in the Temple at Paris, and had escaped with them, and, through Sir Sidney's earnest recommendation, been promoted from being a warrant officer to the rank of lieutenant, received on this day the honour from his admiral of being appointed to an especial post of danger.
In the dim light of the moon that hung low in the arc of the blue-black sky, Jerry made out the figure of her mother, standing near the rough bench that overlooked the valley. "Mother!" "Jerry, child, and in your bare feet!" "I heard you out here. Isn't it dreadfully late? Can't you sleep? Mother, look at me," for Mrs. Westley had kept her face averted.
"Why," answered Westley, looking very earnest, "just go up to him in a quiet, refined manner no blustering, understand and say in a low tone, kind of off-hand but serious, 'Now, look a' here, Potts, old boy, let's talk this thing over like a couple of gentlemen had ought to. 'Well, all right, says Potts, 'that's fair I couldn't refuse that as from one gentleman to another gentleman. Well, then, say to him, 'Now, Potts, you know as well as any man in this town that you're an all-round no-good you're a human Not and a darn scalawag into the bargain.
We have all we can want to eat and the doctor's practice, though it isn't large, keeps us clothed, but Jerry's beginning to want something more than the school down there and these few chums and even I can give her!" John Westley recalled Jerry's face when she told her wish: "I want to go along that shining road down there around and around to the other side of the mountain."
They'll see that the laugh is on them, and they'll have a lot of fun out of it, and then send the old cuss along to another town with some more funny letters to fool the next ones." "That's all very well, but it isn't high conduct," insisted Bundy. Westley Keyts now achieved the nearest approach to diplomacy I have ever known of him. "Oh, well, Asa, after all, this is a world of give and take.
She never writes 'cept when she is coming. Break the news, mum; is it to be a little stay of a year or more?" Mrs. Westley lifted laughing eyes from the open letter.

She sends love to 'the beautiful children."
