The secret garden story online6/29/2023 ![]() She was a stout woman, with very red cheeks and sharp black eyes. The woman was his housekeeper at Misselthwaite Manor, and her name was Mrs. Archibald Craven sent to meet her, in London. She was very much absorbed in her own little boy and girl, and was rather glad to hand the child over to the woman Mr. Mary made the long voyage to England under the care of an officer’s wife, who was taking her children to leave them in a boarding-school. Colonel McGrew said he nearly jumped out of his skin when he opened the door and found her standing by herself in the middle of the room.” Think of the servants running away and leaving her all alone in that deserted bungalow. “When her Ayah was dead there was no one to give a thought to the little thing. “I believe she scarcely ever looked at her,” sighed Mrs. ![]() It is very sad, now the poor beautiful thing is gone, to remember that many people never even knew that she had a child at all.” “Perhaps if her mother had carried her pretty face and her pretty manners oftener into the nursery Mary might have learned some pretty ways too. ![]() ![]() The children call her ‘Mistress Mary Quite Contrary,’ and though it’s naughty of them, one can’t help understanding it.” She had a very pretty manner, too, and Mary has the most unattractive ways I ever saw in a child. “And her mother was such a pretty creature. Crawford attempted to kiss her, and held herself stiffly when Mr. They tried to be kind to her, but she only turned her face away when Mrs. Archibald Craven, who lived at Misselthwaite Manor, she looked so stony and stubbornly uninterested that they did not know what to think about her. Crawford told her that night that she was going to sail away to England in a few days and go to her uncle, Mr. “I don’t believe you,” said Mary and she turned her back and stuck her fingers in her ears, because she would not listen any more.īut she thought over it a great deal afterward and when Mrs. He’s so cross he won’t let them, and they wouldn’t come if he would let them. He lives in a great, big, desolate old house in the country and no one goes near him. I heard father and mother talking about him. “I don’t know anything about him,” snapped Mary. Our grandmama lives there and our sister Mabel was sent to her last year. “She doesn’t know where home is!” said Basil, with seven-year-old scorn. “You are going to be sent home,” Basil said to her, “at the end of the week. He sang it until the other children heard and laughed, too and the crosser Mary got, the more they sang “Mistress Mary, quite contrary” and after that as long as she stayed with them they called her “Mistress Mary Quite Contrary” when they spoke of her to each other, and often when they spoke to her. He danced round and round her and made faces and sang and laughed. Go away!”įor a moment Basil looked angry, and then he began to tease. “There in the middle,” and he leaned over her to point. “Why don’t you put a heap of stones there and pretend it is a rockery?” he said. Presently he got rather interested and suddenly made a suggestion. She was making heaps of earth and paths for a garden and Basil came and stood near to watch her. She was playing by herself under a tree, just as she had been playing the day the cholera broke out. Basil was a little boy with impudent blue eyes and a turned-up nose, and Mary hated him. By the second day they had given her a nickname which made her furious. Mary hated their untidy bungalow and was so disagreeable to them that after the first day or two nobody would play with her. The English clergyman was poor and he had five children nearly all the same age and they wore shabby clothes and were always quarreling and snatching toys from each other. She knew that she was not going to stay at the English clergyman’s house where she was taken at first. What she thought was that she would like to know if she was going to nice people, who would be polite to her and give her her own way as her Ayah and the other native servants had done. If she had been older she would no doubt have been very anxious at being left alone in the world, but she was very young, and as she had always been taken care of, she supposed she always would be. She did not miss her at all, in fact, and as she was a self-absorbed child she gave her entire thought to herself, as she had always done. Mary had liked to look at her mother from a distance and she had thought her very pretty, but as she knew very little of her she could scarcely have been expected to love her or to miss her very much when she was gone.

Family pizza vienna il6/28/2023 It's a small place that doesn't stand out too much, but you owe it to yourself to stop by if you're ever in Johnson County. Overall, not shabby.Īll in all, I'd recommend this to anyone in the area who hasn't tried it, especially the zesty chef, at least once. Search other Pizza Restaurant in or near Vienna IL. As far as price goes, you'll get standard fare for pizzas (a small one topping pizza goes for about 7.50 I believe), the sandwiches are nicely priced at about 3-5 bucks. Get coupons, hours, photos, videos, directions for Family Pizza at 309 E Main St Vienna IL. The food is served in a small diner, the walls covered in Harley Davidson decals and the like, and friendly waitresses available to take your order as soon as you're comfortable. Some people just don't like that much sauce. Like with the zesty chef, they use a generous amount of cheese, and the sauce is zesty, though in my opinion there's not enough of it, but that's just me. ![]() The only complaint I have with them is the way they do their dough, I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about it always seems off. They also serve burgers, they offer singles and doubles, but beware the double chee is pretty big. They use the same beef on their other sandwiches, my personal favorite being the Zesty Chef (beef, pepperoni, ham, mozzarella, onions, green peppers, and ranch), sooo hot and delicious, and they're pretty generous with the cheese. Their italian beef is unlike most you'll get around these parts rather than using the typical Louie's Italian Beef Au Jus that most places do, they instead use their own Italian seasonings and cut out the au jus, and the result is a tasty, tasty sandwich. Address: 1311 Main St, Wheeling, WV 26003, USA Address: 1403 Grand Central Ave, Vienna, WV 26105, USA West Virginia In Your Inbox Love West Virginia Get more stories delivered right to your email. Their menu has some variety to it, it's not the largest menu you'll get around by a long shot, but they've still got some goodies. Truth be told, I never actually tried one of their pizzas until this year, and even then I was always satisfied. I've been going to this place since I first moved to Tunnel Hill in 2000, and it's always been great. Great place to eat at a reasonable price. I'm not much of a pizza person but their pizza is very good. ![]() ![]() The Zesty Chef and Italian Beef are very good.Order a sandwich to go.

Battle of the bridge 20216/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Montoursville moved ahead to stay when Dalena threw a perfect 45-yard strike to Fenner and set up Pulizzi’s 1-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. ![]() Both defenses made crucial first-half stands inside the 10-yard line before the Warriors went up 14-7 on their first second-half possession only for Loyalsock to quickly answer and tie it three plays later. Loyalsock (3-2) again made Montoursville earn it the hard way in a game it led 7-6 at halftime. “Everyone did a heck of a job, the line receivers, the defense … everyone. I’m speechless,” Dalena said as he held the trophy. “I was thinking about this game all day and couldn’t wait to play. Isaiah Fenner caught seven passes for 114 yards, the Warriors (3-2) snapped a two-game losing streak and they overcame a valiant Loyalsock effort in a game where the momentum swung luck a pendulum all night in front of an overflowing, boisterous crowd. Rocco Pulizzi ran for 211 yards and three touchdowns Maddix Dalena threw for 218 yards and the defense made two big late stops as Montoursville won a 26-21 thriller against Loyalsock and captured the Bridge Trophy for a sixth straight time. In another classic rivalry game where both teams did everything possible to help their teams win, the Bridge remained in Montoursville control. Because when seemingly everybody in both communities was watching Friday night, Montoursville emerged victorious again.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy was today attending a summit of the Arab League in Saudi Arabia to canvas support for his people. Mr Kuleba also said the G7 countries were "close friends and partners" and there was "always a lot to discuss", including new sanctions against Russia, financial support for Ukraine and an aviation coalition.

Steelheart synopsis6/28/2023 ![]() David is too focused on his revenge to have time for it.As part of the Reindeer Readathon, I read Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson for the Comet prompt (a book you think will have an impact on you) and this was my first ever Brandon Sanderson book. While David is a teenage boy and definitely notices girls (especially Megan, one of the Reckoners on the team), this is merely a minor plotpoint and romance (at least in the first book) is not really a major factor. There is also no sexual content in this book. There is no explicit language that I can recall (perhaps your occassional minor curse, but even then, Sanderson created his own vernacular for expletives like “Calamity”, “Sparks”, and “Slontz”). ![]() Any youth who plays war-based video games will feel right at home with the heavy descriptions of guns and weapons and the military style tactics of the Reckoners. There is violence and plenty of death (most of it “off-screen” so to speak), but Sanderson does not go into explicit detail or gory descriptions that would upset a delicate reader. Steelheart is more than appropriate for late middle grade on up but will be most enjoyed by teenagers and up, I believe. With this type of storytelling, gamers will definitely enjoy the flow of the narrative. The story plays out almost like a video game, with some of the lesser Epics that work for Steelheart serving as mini-bosses and the downtime in between large-scale battles being filled with intelligence gathering and backstory filling. He has a unique quirk wherein he is extremely poor at using metaphors that Sanderson uses expertly to demonstrate this throughout the book. He claims to not be a nerd (repeatedly) but his social awkwardness due to his singular focus on Epics is evident. As one of many orphans in Newcago (the new name of Chicago after Steelheart takes over), David developed an unhealthy obsession with revenge and learning about Epics in general. He uses his knowledge of seeing Steelheart bleed (the only one alive who has ever seen this happen) as a bargaining chip to get in with the Reckoners. In a world where regular people are trying to fight against near-godlike entities, it makes sense that their weapons would become so important to them.ĭavid is a wonderful main protagonist. Fans of video games with a focus on weaponry (like Call of Duty or Battlefield) will enjoy how important weapons are in this world and how much attention goes into describing and using them. The unique powers granted to Epics (bulletproofing, flight, fire manipulation, etc.) can easily make one feel they are reading a comic book story.Īt the same time, the story as it follows David feels less like a comic book story and more like a guerrilla war story with the illusive Reckoners using strategy, knowledge, and a bit of unpredictability to fight against the Epics in the dystopian future left when the Epics take over the world, a city at a time. There is enough familiarity to the concept of super-powered humans to rope a young reader in, however. He does a great job establishing immediately in the prologue that Epics are not the X-Men, Avengers, or Justice League. ![]() After that, comparisons to your typical superhero stories end. His concept is simple enough: random people start getting superpowers. Why I Think Boys May Enjoy Thisīrandon Sanderson in his Reckoners series has done an amazing job of turning the prototypical superhero genre on its head. For years, like the Reckoners, David has been studying, and planning, and he has something they need. When Steelheart came to Chicago, he killed David’s father. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, the Reckoners spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. It is said that no bullet can harm him, no sword can split his skin, and no fire can burn him. Steelheart possesses the strength of ten men and can control the elements. Now, in what was once Chicago, an astonishingly powerful Epic named Steelheart has installed himself as emperor. And to rule man, you must crush his will. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. The awed public started calling them Epics. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary people extraordinary powers. Enjoy your stay and mind the new carpets.

Spacious suv6/27/2023 ![]() Our press test-drive included stunning scenery, going more than 100 miles south, to Moscow, Idaho, where we had lunch at the Lodgepole Restaurant - the fish and chips featured Alaskan halibut! - and back, along some scenic, twisty mountain roadways. With 10 new or substantially redesigned models introduced in the last year, Hyundai has had 10 consecutive months of increased sales over the previous year, and CEO Brian Smith said that while the industry is down 5 percent, Hyundai is up 5 percent. “Sixty-five percent of our total sales come from SUVs.” “We have strong loyalty to our sedans, like the Sonata, Elantra and Accent, but subcompact SUVs have become the largest segment with midsize SUVs a close second,” said O’Brien. Materials and fit of dash includes 10.3-inch adjustable nav screen. AWD is standard on the Limited but can be ordered on any model. The Limited I road-tested hit a total of $47,605, but at that its equipment made it pretty special. The top Palisade Limited model starts at $44,700, and it, too, can add price with some amazing option packages. At $33,500, the SEL upgrades to accept all sorts of feature packages that can add another $10,000. SUVs with the size and features of the Palisade are often up to twice Palisade’s price, which starts at $31,580 for the base SE. However, Hyundai won’t exactly be departing from its reputation of providing high-value, bargain vehicles because of its surprisingly modest price. “We’ve focused on premium design and materials,” said O’Brien. The Palisade could alter Hyundai’s image because of its remarkable luxury fittings. Hyundai’s history of building safe, strong vehicles that over-achieve is commendable, but now there is a vehicle for those wanting more luxury, and room. The Palisade replaces the Santa Fe XL as the largest SUV from the South Korean company, and while its bold grille doesn’t resemble anything seen on the Santa Fe, Tucson or Kona, it breaks new styling ground while accumulating all of the almost futuristic features of those smaller siblings, while aiming higher. ![]() O’Brien has never been to Palisade Head, but he was addressing automotive media types summoned in several waves to Coeur d’Alene, a jewel of a mountain resort spot located right in the narrow northern part of Idaho, for the first driving impressions of the 2020 Palisade. Stylish rear houses actual full-size adult comfort in the third row of seats. Palisade represents a slice of a cliff, and symbolizes strength.” “This time, we wanted to match the character of a fortress, something substantial. “Our vehicle names generally are taken from Southwest or Western locations,” said Mike O’Brien, Hyundai’s vice president of product planning. ![]() One of the neatest North Shore tourist sites is the comparatively unknown turnoff to “Palisade Head.” The view from atop Palisade Head is fantastic, and some adventurers bring rock-climbing gear and conduct rappelling exercises over the edge and 200 feet straight down. Hyundai has swiftly addressed those concerns with its largest SUV, called the Palisade.Ī few years ago, I couldn’t have guessed what a Palisade actually is, but living on Minnesota’s North Shore of Lake Superior, you get used to the large, substantial, rock cliffs that rise straight up from the scenic shoreline in a spectacular ridge that runs from Duluth to beyond the Canada border. Hyundai’s SUVs are selling at a fantastic rate, but the company also has heard from consumers with three or more kids: “We want more room.” Even the most loyal Hyundai buyers have to turn to Toyota, Ford or General Motors if they want a larger, three-row SUV, because Hyundai’s fleet consists of midsize and smaller. ![]() The 2020 Hyundai Palisade made easy work of a trip through the mountains from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, to Bellingham, Wash. |
