"You see, I have become very fond of Aldercliffe and Pine Lea, fond of Laurie, of Mr. Hazen, and of the little hut. I have felt far more sorry than perhaps you realize to go away from here." His voice quivered. "You poor youngster!" Mr. Clarence exclaimed. "Why in the name of goodness didn't you say so?
"Oh, yes, he comes and goes, sometimes secretly, sometimes openly. I did not see him at all to-day until late this afternoon. Then he took up his post across the street just opposite this window, and stood there for almost an hour." Laurie ground his teeth. "What does he expect to gain by that performance?" "Several things, I suppose.
I hate hotels and " Louise lay silent for a moment. Then she reached out and took Sonya's hand. "Yes, you unskilful prevaricator," she said. "You may come and see me through." Sonya held the hand tightly in her own. "There's one thing more," she went on, hesitatingly. "Laurie and Mr. Bangs and I wondered if perhaps you wouldn't feel more comfortable if Mr. Warren came home.
"Perhaps Ted had other things to attend to," ventured Mr. Hazen. "No, I hadn't," was the prompt reply.

"I don't want to have it lying on my soul upon my honor I don't that I turned the poor old chap's brain still crazier."
I've got to help Amy, so you go and make yourself splendid, and if you'll be so very kind as to let Hayes take a few nice flowers up to the Hall, I'll bless you forever." "Couldn't you do it now?" asked Laurie, so suggestively that Jo shut the gate in his face with inhospitable haste, and called through the bars, "Go away, Teddy, I'm busy."

"There isn't any, Laurie is only a little boy." And Meg laughed also at the queer look which the sisters exchanged as she thus described her supposed lover. "About your age," Nan said.
I said, not expecting him to humour my impudence, but he did, by going at once to the piano. It had lisped and stammered awkwardly for Mrs. James, but it obeyed him as if the keys were mesmerized. He played a prelude, and then sang "Annie Laurie," in a soft, mellow voice, so low that people outside the room could hardly have heard.
