When the older child was taken out, a smaller child was put in.

The crackle of the rockers is pleasant yet in my ears.

Have heard what you would call far better singing since then, but none that so thoroughly touched me.

She never got five hundred dollars per night for singing three songs at the Academy, with two or three encores grudgefully thrown in; but without pay she sometimes sang all night, and came out whenever encored, though she had only two little ears for an audience.
