But when he spoke of "her sweet, shy modesty," I came near to laughing in his face. "Did she not write a letter asking you to meet her?" I asked. "Why y-e-s," returned John. "And," I continued, "has she not from the first sought you?"
She said it, the little thing, as though he were hers her very own, and defend him against disrespect she WOULD. Tembarom, being but young flesh and blood, made an impetuous dart toward her, and checked himself, catching his breath. "Ann," he said, "has your grandmother got a dog?" "Y-e-s," she said, faltering because she was puzzled. "How big is he?" "He's a big one. He's a brindled bulldog.
Bone came to the rescue without delay. "You kin have my saloon, and not a cent of cost," said he. "Bully fer Bone!" said several of the men. "Y-e-s, but would it be just the tip-toppest, tippe-bob-royal of a place?" inquired Field, a little cautiously. "What's the matter with it?" said Bone. "When it's church it's church, and I guess it would know the way to behave!
"Seventeen years." "Y-e-s: I had forgotten." He had an idea, this man of a hundred schemes, that his "baby" was laughing at him, and, singularly enough, it raised her in his estimation. He even asked her to come and live with him in the city, but she refused, and he did not insist. Then he set about making a change, which was soon accomplished.

Two boxes in one evening I don't do that every day." "A man, you say a small man. Was he young?" "I don't remember very well. He was sick, I think. He had a handkerchief on his face and his hat was pulled far down."

"She looks just like other people, don't she?" whispered Cecy, who had come over to have a peep at the new arrival. "Y-e-s," replied Katy, doubtfully, "only a great, great deal prettier."
"Are you going far, then, Uncle Dick?" "Yes, very far," I answered, glancing uneasily from the Imp's drooping figure to Lisbeth. "I wonder where?" "Oh well er down the rivers" I stammered, quite at a loss. "Y-e-s, but where?" persisted Dorothy.

"Y-e-s," he replied slowly and reluctantly. "Then don't be so quick to doubt a thing just because you've never seen it," retorted Mrs. Quack. "I've seen Mrs. 'Gator build her nest more than once, and I've seen her eggs, and I've seen the baby 'Gators; and what is more, I'm not in the habit of telling things that I don't know are so." "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Quack." Peter was very humble.
Are you not delighted with it?" "Y-e-s," replied Cinderella with hesitation, "but must I go thither in these filthy rags?" Her godmother touched her with the wand, and her rags instantly became the most magnificent apparel, ornamented with the most costly jewels in the whole world.
