TWO:"You," Albin said, "are out of your head. So if you're crazy for plants, so grow them in your spare time. If you've got a window in your room you can put up a window-box. If not, something else.

TWO:She raised her head and looked him full in the face, her eyes like a bright challenge. Her face was quite sober when she spoke. "I'm in Psych, but it's more than morale, Johnny. We'realways thinking up new ways to keep the little Alberts in their place. Put it that way. Though nobody's really come up with an improvement on the original notion."
FORE:"Have you bit it off, or did some girl, that you bolted off in such a hurry to see, drain you so dry o' talk that you haint got a word left? Who is she? What does she look like? What made you in sich a dreadful hurry to see her? You didn't go clear up to Bad Ax, did you, and kill that old widower?"The silence of the woods and the mountains as night drew on became more oppressive than the crashing sounds, the feverish movements, and the strained expectancy of the day had been.

TWO:"Harry Joslyn 's runnin' nose-and-nose with him. There ain't the width o' their forelocks difference. Harry's yelled for more beans at the same second that Gid has. In fact, not one of 'em has lagged. They're a great gang, I tell you, but I wouldn't want to board any one of 'em for six bits a week."
TWO:"Don't care if it does," said Si desperately. "They've got to learn it sometime, and they can't learn no younger. Might as well begin now as any time. 'Tention! Right face!"
TWO:"Why, you little scamps you," gasped Si in amazement. "What'd you mean? Ain't you goin' to obey my orders?""Now there'll be a hangin' sure," said Harry, in eager expectancy.
"Hadn't we batter take our guns along?" suggested Monty, holding on to his with grim fearfulness.Never mind us, never mind AMP, never mind the metals we need."I'm Serg't Klegg, sir, of Co. Q, 200th Injianny Volunteer Infantry.""Harry Joslyn 's runnin' nose-and-nose with him. There ain't the width o' their forelocks difference.
