6. 06LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS
7. 07THE ROAD TO ROME; OR, THE SILLY STOWAWAY
8. 08My Father is prompt and decisive in action, so is his eldest son.
9. 09THE CONSCIENCE-PUDDING
10. 10Dora turned the greasy pages anxiously.
11. 11Dora went on—
12. 12It was Alice, the most paralysed with disgrace of all of us, who thought of the best idea.
13. 13ARCHIBALD THE UNPLEASANT
14. 14I assure you she did, though he had done simply nothing.
15. 15Matters were in this cryptical state when the door opened and Father came in.
16. 16I think every one instantly felt better. I know one of us did, and it was me.
17. 17It wasn't, and of course she ought not to have said it, but it was useful all the same.
18. 18OVER THE WATER TO CHINA
19. 19THE YOUNG ANTIQUARIES
20. 20Dora said, "You ought not to bet, especially on Sunday," and Alice altered it to "You may be sure."
21. 21Denny and Daisy and Albert came to spend the day.
22. 22THE INTREPID EXPLORER AND HIS LIEUTENANT
23. 23It was the right door.
24. 24Denny shivered, and Oswald could feel him stand first on one leg and then on the other.
25. 25It was a splendid party.
26. 26THE TURK IN CHAINS; OR, RICHARD'S REVENGE
27. 27Dora went ahead in the following remarks:
28. 28It was now Noël's turn to disclose his idea, which proved most awful.
29. 29Most of us were dumb at the dreadful thought. But Alice said—
30. 30Dora said he was very unkind, and did he really want to turn her out?
31. 31Dicky and Oswald lugged the hamper down to the shop that has Carter Paterson's board outside.
32. 32Dicky said—
33. 33Dicky made him shake hands, and Oswald did the same.
34. 34THE GOLDEN GONDOLA
35. 35Conversation often takes place about the things you like, and we often spoke of Albert's uncle.
36. 36Dora looked frightened, and said she thought we'd better not.
37. 37I never saw a man laugh more. He is an excellent sort.
38. 38THE FLYING LODGER
39. 39It was Oswald who found the manly courage to say very politely—
40. 40Dora thought we might get Father to give her money, but Oswald knew this would never do.
41. 41It seemed a sporting thing to do, and we agreed. Only Dora said she thought it would be draughty.
42. 42THE SMUGGLER'S REVENGE
43. 43Dora was the only one who was pleased. She said—
44. 44Dicky yawned and said he didn't know.
45. 45Dora said, "Goodbye, I know you'll be drowned. I hope you'll enjoy yourselves, I'm sure!"
46. 46In fact, that cabin was a bit stiff altogether, and was almost the means of upsetting even Oswald.
47. 47Mr. Benenden and the Viking and the boy looked at each other.
48. 48ZAÏDA, THE MYSTERIOUS PROPHETESS OF THE GOLDEN ORIENT
49. 49Dicky said that was one way of keeping the book to herself, but Oswald said—
50. 50If Oswald had known beforehand we should never have made that two quid for Miss Sandal.
51. 51THE LADY AND THE LICENSE; OR, FRIENDSHIP'S GARLAND
52. 52Dicky was the first to speak.
53. 53It was after this that Dicky said—
54. 54Mrs. Bax sighed. Then she said—
55. 55Mrs. Red House jumped up, and so did we. She said with smiles, as if nothing was wrong—
56. 56THE POOR AND NEEDY
57. 57It is awfully difficult to console those in affliction. Oswald thought this, then he said—
58. 58Dora was rather a favourite of hers.
59. 59Mrs. Bax looked straight out to sea through her gold-rimmed spectacles, and went on—
