"Indeed! I had no idea.

Mr.Ambrose never told me that." "I am not sure that he is aware of it," said Mr.Juxon quietly.

"The subject never happened to come up." "How odd!" remarked John, who could not conceive of associating with a man for any length of time without asking at what University he had been.
"I don't know," answered Mr.Juxon.

"There are lots of other things to talk about." "Oh--of course," said John, in a tone which did not express conviction.

"What a glorious Christmas eve!" exclaimed Mrs.Goddard, as they turned a bend in the drive and caught sight of the western sky still clear and red.

"And there is the new moon!" The slender crescent was hanging just above the fading glow.
"Oh mamma, have you wished ?" cried Nellie.
