Passage Illustrated: Harry Walmers Carves Norah's Name in the Fence
"'Cobbs, how should you spell Norah, if you were asked?' and he took out his little knife and began cutting that name in print all over the fence. The next day as it might be, he stops, along with Miss Norah, where I was hoeing weeds in the gravel, and says, speaking up —
"'Cobbs, I like you! Why do I like you do you think, Cobbs? Because Norah likes you.' ["The Runaway Couple," Children's Stories from Dickens, 12]
