They dined together and they usually boated together in the afternoon this last item on account of Mab's passion for the sea; but beyond this they lived considerably apart.

"That wasn't a joke the eyes were REAL, though they couldn't see nor blink at you," Mab answered. "The potato eyes must see a little, else how could they find their way to grow up out of the dark ground?" Hal wanted to know. "Well, my beans didn't have any eyes, and they grew up," Mab answered. "Even if they did grow upside down, or I thought they did," and she laughed.

"They'll drown the poor dog," spoke Mr. Blake, laughing. "I guess I'd better take a hand in this myself." "What's the matter?" asked Aunt Lolly from the back steps. "Is the house on fire?"
"That's the children's secret," answered Daddy Blake, as he wrapped the package up again. Hal was up first in the morning, but Mab soon followed him. "Daddy, where is the bottle?" called Hal.

"The man who bought her has sold her already. If I thought you had anything to do with it " "I don't even know who you sold her to," was Daylight's answer.

"Or Glasslough?" "I'm afraid he is cross, and wouldn't let me have my own way." "I can only think of one other; but you would not take him." "Then you had better not mention him. It is no good crowding the list with impossibles." "I was thinking of myself." "You are certainly one of the impossibles." "Why, Lady Mab?" "For twenty reasons.
"We've all heard of that," said Phineas Finn. "And we pretty well know all the points of Sir Timothy's eloquence," said Barrington Erle. "I am not going to tell any of the secrets. I have no doubt that there were reporters present, and you will see the whole of it in the papers to-morrow." Then Silverbridge turned to his neighbour.
