"Perhaps I didn't knock loud enough," thought Huldah, "or whoever's inside may be gone to sleep."
"I'm sure I don't see whoever's goin' to tote them things up to the third story," sighed the female jack-in-the-box, who was, after all, more purple than black when you looked closely, an illusion produced by a dusting of pink powder over a dark surface. "And how do I know Miss Hampshire'll take you?" "But you said there was a room."
Van Brunt's as good as at home in that house, sure enough; whoever's down-stairs." "Bless her dear little heart!" said his mother. "A good name is better than precious ointment." August had come, and John was daily expected home.

"Whoever's money this is," he ses, pulling a handful out o' Peter's pocket, "it can't be yours. Now, if you make another sound I'll knock your 'ead off afore I tie you up."

Starting with Danny and pointing to a child in rotation with each word, Nora chanted and counted: "'One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. All good children go to heaven. O-u-t spells out." Her finger was pointing at Jerry. "Jerry's out!" cried Celia Jane, skipping about.
