After dinner Mrs. Dean played on the piano and Constance, who knew how to dance was initiated into the mysteries of several new steps which were favorites of the Franklin girls, and later the two girls spent a happy hour in Marjorie's room with her books, of which she had a large collection.
"Marjorie Dean High School Freshman"
Pauline Lester
She was just returning from the funeral of poor old Mat Landy, one of her oldest favorites as a child.
"The Martins Of Cro' Martin, Vol. II (of II)"
Charles James Lever
But we must all expect it; fortune has no favorites in this respect.
"The Mystery of the Locks"
Edgar Watson Howe
