3 And Mr. Laurence offered her his arm with old-fashioned courtesy.
4 Now, the garden separated the Marches' house from that of Mr. Laurence.
5 "Theodore Laurence, you ought to be the happiest boy in the world," she added impressively.
6 I'll see what these little girls can do for him, thought Mr. Laurence, as he looked and listened.
7 My mother knows old Mr. Laurence, but says he's very proud and doesn't like to mix with his neighbors.
