But Kitty is a trump, true blue and dead game, and the very best company you can find in a day's journey.

And, much as we miss your mother, you mustn't weep for us; we are having some fun and are planning more.

I could have no end of fun with her if I had any time.

But to work all day and till bedtime doesn't leave much time for sport.
The farm--the farm--the farm--it's yours and Mother's to plan and make and do with as you wish.

I shall be happy whatever you do, even if you put the roof in the cellar and the cellar on top of the house.
If you have room enough (16 X 10 plus a fire and a bath are enough for me), I'll go down there and write a book.
