Ribby and Duchess said good-bye affectionately, and Duchess started home. Half-way up the lane she stopped and looked back; Ribby had gone in and shut her door.

Metta kept it up.英文原著 · 《Merton of the Movies》
Somehow we did n't feel quite at home; but Dad got on well. He talked away learnedly to Miss Ribbone about everything. Told her, without swearing once, how, when at school in the old country, he fought the schoolmaster and leathered him well.

No one else joined in, though Miss Ribbone smiled a little. When Joe recovered he held out his plate.英文原著 · 《On Our Selection》
