"Yes, indeed I have!"
"Oh! Eli, have you! make haste and tell me!" "He has been there again."

"Indeed, he has: father and mother pretended to know nothing of it; but I went up-stairs and hid myself."
"Well, what then? did he come after you?"
"Yes; I believe father told him where I was; he's always so tiresome now."
