Fairchild took his book to a little distance, that he might not be disturbed by Henry's reading, and he stretched himself upon a green bank. "Now, mamma," said Henry, "are you ready to hear my story?

Then Marie, smiling with divine joy, exclaimed: "Oh! if you only knew, Pierre, what happiness I have brought away from that last visit to the Blessed Virgin. I saw her smile at me, I felt her giving me strength to live. Really, that farewell was delightful, and you must not scold us, Pierre." He himself had begun to smile, somewhat ill at ease, however, as he thought of his nervous fidgeting.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz! When will you learn that whispering is more fidgeting than talking out loud? I've not been able to sleep at all for the chatter you and Nancy have been keeping up all this time.

"'Sunset and evening star," she said solemnly, "'and one clear call for me. Do you know those beautiful words, George?" He did not answer. She could hear him fidgeting with whip and reins, but she gazed upward still. "I'm sorry I can't recite the rest. I have forgotten it, but if you will promise to read it, I'll lend you a copy.
The boys suspended their mischievous operations, and listened. Letty did not move. "Let me stay," she whispered. "Come, Miss Letty, like a good child. Your mother must sleep, or she will be ill, and the baby too. Come! I know what your quietness is fidgeting about like a mouse. Your mother would have a better chance to sleep with all the boys about her. Come away." "Go, Letty; go with nurse.

It seems that this cranky wretch of a mare had been sideling and fidgeting when Mr. Falkland and his daughter started for their ride; but had gone pretty fairly Miss Falkland, like my sister Aileen, could ride anything in reason when suddenly a dead limb dropped off a tree close to the side of the road.
She was fidgeting with the blind-cord, her pretty face very serious. "I am not sure," she said slowly, "that it lies in my power to help you. Of course I am willing to do my best, because, as you say, we are pals. But, Nick, she is very young. And if if she really doesn't love you, you mustn't ask me to persuade her."
