Strana 172 - the females—" if you find the target touched at all, I'll own to a miss. The Quarter-Master cut the wood, but you'll find no wood cut by that last messenger." " Very true, Pathfinder, very true," answered Muir, who was lingering near Mabel, though ashamed to address her particularly, in the presence of the
Strana 294 - tells me he had such feelings towards your own mother, and I think I've seen something like it, in the young people I have, from time to time, guided through the wilderness. Yes, yes— I dare say it's all nat'ral enough, and that makes it come so easy, and is a great comfort to me.
Strana 506 - continued Pathfinder, rising and drawing nearer to our heroine with grave decorum, " kiss me. Jasper will not grudge me one kiss : then we'll part." " Oh!

The tramp of his pursuers seemed immediately at his heels. Dropping his burden, he turned, closed the door, and had
Strana 416 - and heart are both right with that lad, depend on it, Mabel; and the notion taken up by Lundie, and the Quarter-Master, and the sarjeant, and your uncle, too, is as wrong, as it would be to think that the sun shone by night, and the stars shone by day. No—no—I'll answer for
