Side 128 - But the beating of my own heart Was all the sound I heard. He came not, no, he came not, The night came on alone, The little stars sat one by one Each on his golden throne...
Side 150 - Spec' I mus' have my froat goggled; have some more poke-rime round it, Hollis !" added she, in a tone loud enough to be heard by half the party. Think of mentioning " poke-rime " in fashionable society ! " Tell her she must dance Little Zephyrs, or you'll send her right back," suggested Prudy, who was famous for thinking of the right thing at the right time, and so making awkward affairs pass off well. "Yes, Fly, come out in the floor, and dance ' Little Zephyrs ' this minute, or you must go back...
Side 64 - em ! " There was a second dash upon the stove, and another scorch in the slip. "There ought to be a fence built round that stove," said the anxious father. "Come, Mother Hubbard, have you seen all there is in the cupboard? Can't you give this poor old dog a bone ?

Side 153 - You little mischief, is that what you mean ? ghe won't lei you wake her ?" " No'm, she won't," replied artless Fly ; " she said she wouldn't be bovvered." Mrs. Pragoff weut to bed again, laughing at her own folly. Dotty, it seems, was feeling very much like a bitter-sour apple. It had always been a peculiarity of hers to visit her own sins upon other people. Prudy did not suspect in the least what the matter was, but knew, from experience, it...
Side 73 - Hush! don't you talk, Prudy. When you shake the table, then I make blots with "my pastry." Prudy said nothing, but thoughtfully tasted the cake again.

("No, Dotty; I only mean that we are i»ld, in the Bible, there are 'ministering spirits,' and we believe they watch over good little children.
