"She could not raise him wholly, and he cried out once when his injured leg trailed in the snow."
"Then she turned to Sproatly. 'You can wash up those dishes on the table.'"
"At length the door opened, and Agatha Ismay, wrapped in a long cloak, came in."
"'Now,' he said, 'I won't let you fall.'"
"'You!' was all she said."
"In another moment Hawtrey sprang up on the platform, and she felt his arms about her."
"Then something seemed to crack, and she saw the off-side horse stumble and plunge."
"'Do you think—that—would have mattered?'"
"'Well,' she said, 'we have driven over as we promised!'"
"Agatha held her hands up ... as the man leaned down, and the next moment she was strongly lifted."
"'I guess I needn't tell you where that is,' he said, and pointed to the parallel of latitude that ran across."
"It seemed that he did not immediately notice her."
"'Are these things very much too big for you, Sally?'"
"It shambled forward in a curious manner."
"'I thought you might save Gregory, if I told you.'"
"'I was waiting for you,' she said simply."
