She stared at him, her eyes wide as she thought about what he had said ; ;

She said, `` I guess the Lord looks out for fools, drunkards, and innocents ''.

She said, and her tone had softened until it was almost friendly.

`` She won't change her mind '', Brannon said.

She was still hugging the stained coat around her, so I said, `` Relax, let me take your things.

She said incredulously.

She said without turning her head, `` After that rain beating in atop the dust, there isn't a thing that won't be streaked ''.

She said, `` My name is Songau and these girls are Ponkob and Piwen.

She said, her voice rising.

She said, with the solicitude of a middle-aged woman for her only child.

She said with intense feeling: `` Come near, let me feel your arms.

She daubed at her swimming eyes with a lacy handkerchief and said with obvious emotion: `` That poor boy!!

She regretted what she described as the `` unwarrantable & unnecessary '' check to their friendship and said that she felt that they understood one another perfectly.

She had, she said, heard that the plant was closing.

She said.

She said, `` I notice the girl from across the street hasn't bothered to phone or visit ''.

She said, `` Do you think you'll miss school ''??

She said, `` My dear, do you know what Kent House is ''??

She never said a word about the fifty dollars.

She would have said triumph.

`` She didn't mention bringing Myra '', Mark said, maneuvering the car into the next lane.

She had surprised Hans like she had surprised me when she said she'd go, and then she surprised him again when she came back so quick like she must have, because when I came in with the snow she was there with a bottle with three white feathers on its label and Hans was holding it angrily by the throat.

She said to the saleslady, `` I want a dress to put on around the house ''.

She said it was after she returned from her vomiting spell in the back yard that Mrs. Borden told her to wash the windows.

She told police about the prospective tenant she had heard quarreling with her father some weeks before the murders, but she said she thought he was from out of town because she heard him mention something about talking to his partner.

She lay there, making no effort to get back on her feet.

She began it deliberately, so that none of her words would be lost on him.

She jerked the coat back on and squeezed it around her again, but not soon enough.

She went on:

She placed her palms, fingers outspread, on the desk in an odd gesture as if to say, `` Now, what next ''??

She set the dipper on the edge of the deck, leaving it for him to stretch after it while she looked on scornfully.

She was sitting on the edge of the bed again, back in the same position where the snake had found her.

She munched little ginger cakes called mulatto's belly and kept her green, somewhat hypnotic eyes fixed on a light-colored male who was prancing wildly with a 5-foot king snake wrapped around his bronze neck.

She was nude to the waist and her tumbled abundance of black hair did not conceal the knife slashes on her back.

She remained squatting on her heels all the time we were there ; ;

She read everything else she could get her hands on, including an article ( she thinks it was in the Atlantic Monthly ) by Mark Twain on `` White Slavery ''.

She wrote in her journal, `` I have not heard the least profane language since I have been on board the vessel.

She kept the dolls on the Lincoln bed.

She would often go up on the roof to see the attendant take down the flag in the evening.

She opened the boxes with a tear in her eye and a sad smile on her face.

She had to clean the glass on the display cases in the butcher shop, help her brother scrub the cutting tables with wire brushes, mop the floors, put down new sawdust on the floors and help check the outgoing orders.

She smoothed the covers on Scotty's bed and picked things up from the floor.

She had even steeled herself to keep Juanita upstairs in the nurse's room off the empty nursery, although the girl tried to insist on moving back to the quarters to spare Kate remembrance of the baby's death.

She came to the ballroom and stood on the two carpeted steps that led down to it.

She was still laughing when I grabbed her and started rolling her on the bed.

She was told by the manservant who opened the door that his lordship was engaged on work from which he had left strict orders he was not to be disturbed.

She signed the letters quickly, stamped them, and placed them on the hall table for Raphael to mail in town.
