Anne of The Island by Montgomery, Lucy Maud View in context
And I, as I could not make my young companions better, feared exceedingly that they would make me worse--would gradually bring my feelings, habits, capacities, to the level of their own; without, however, imparting to me their lightheartedness and cheerful vivacity.

Tarzan the Untamed by Burroughs, Edgar Rice View in context
