"But you didnt cut him, mamma." "I never dreamed of his coming back so soon; and, of course, I cannot tell whether he will be cut or not. We must wait and see what other people will do. If we meet him again we had better not see him." "Look here, old fellow," said Marmaduke, as he walked away with Douglas. "Youve come back too soon. It wont do.
"I want to tell you this stuff really can grow. It's amazing, simply amazing. Youve heard of plants growing while you look at them; well, this grows while you don't look at it. It grows while your back is turned. Just to give you an example: while the boys have been busy a second time with the parkwaystrip, the grass has come back and grown again over all they burned up beyond the sidewalk.
But I approximated ..." Her voice trailed off and for a full minute the absolute silence of the kitchen was broken only by the melodramatic dripping of a tap. She made an effort to pull herself together and addressed me in her old abrupt way. "Corn or wheat?" "Ay?" "You said youve seen what it does. I asked you if you had applied it to corn or wheat or what?"

Miss Francis looked as though she'd added insomnia to her other abstentions, otherwise she had not changed, even to her skirt and the smudge on her left nostril.

Yet youre always scandlizing us; and now you tell me youve done it on morl grounds! Who educated you, child? And what do you intend to do now?" "For the present, only to get a lodging. Will you tell me where I should look for one? I dont know the east from the west end of this town; and I am so inexperienced that I might make a mistake easily as to the character of the places.
You ought either to believe in your father or else be silent about him." "Why?" "Why! Surely we should hide the failings of those we love?

Youve a right to your opinion.
Putting a mechanical whip on a buggy instead of inventing an internal combustion engine. Ive gone directly to the heart of the matter. Like Watt. Like Maxwell. Like Almroth Wright.
