It had often astonished her to notice how completely Jack had his emotions and temper under control.

"I don't want to say anything unkind about the little woman, but I do think her both silly and second-rate.

I took a dislike to her when she behaved in such a ridiculous manner over Flick." "You were almost as frightened as she was," said Jack roughly.
"It's quite true that I was frightened for a moment, but only because I was afraid for Timmy." "I can tell you one thing--she won't come here again to supper unless I can give her my word that all our dogs are really shut up.
