father perfect diaries
Though my father was Norwegian, he always wrote his diaries in perfect English.
children delight mirth
I never get any protests from children. All you get are giggles of mirth and squirms of delight. I know what children like.
kind
I like enthusiasts of any kind.
secret
...there are no secrets unless you keep them to yourself, and this was the greatest secret I had ever had to keep in my life so far.
candy dandy
Candy is dandy but liqueur is quicker.
girl believe eye
I was observing her closely as I talked, and after a while I began to get the impression that she was not, in fact, quite so merry and smiling a girl as I had been led to believe at first. She seemed to be coiled in herself, as though with a secret she was jealously guarding. The deep-blue eyes moved too quickly about the room, never settling or resting on one thing for more than a moment; and over all her face, though so faint that they might not even have been there, those small downward lines of sorrow.
