You know if I say its nice, it is nice. “You bet you thats so, Mary. All right, Ill tackle it again. “And he did “tackle it again“and
42、under the double pressure of curiosity and prospective gain he did it with such spirit that he accomplished a shining success. Mary gave him a brand-new “Barlow“ knife worth twelve and a half cents; and the convulsion of delight that swept his system shook him to his foundations. True, the knife wou
43、ld not cut anything, but it was a “sure-enough“ Barlow, and there was inconceivable grandeur in thatthough where the Western boys ever got the idea that such a weapon could possibly be counterfeited to its injury is an imposing mystery and will always remain so, perhaps.

44、 cupboard with it, and was arranging to begin on the bureau, when he was called off to dress for Sunday-school.83 In the first paragraph, the word “grim“ (. . . a grim chapter. ) means_.（A）sacred（B） omniponent（C） cheerful（D）gloomy84 When Tom was reciting the verses, _.（A）Mary discouraged him constan
