St. Quiz the Obscure

Since y'all got all eight of the books last time, here's a few I don't think you'll get as easily*:

1. "Molly-child, now supper's done, go fetch Neighbor Dixon's horse."
2. It is very difficult to look as if you minded the death of a grandfather who, though you may have spent your holidays in his house, seldom remembered you did.
3. The Zoo Man came riding into Four Corners on a coal black wagon pulled by a coal black mule.
4. It was Patrick Gilligan in his hansom cab who took Lucinda around from the old Gedney House to the Misses Peters' apartment, two flights up.
5. I got off to a bad start at Bat Masterson Junior High School.
6. Mrs. Eva Marie Olinski always gave good answers.
7. Spring had come and once more the young beech trees beside the rushing Illerbach were a tender green.

*same rules as last time except that some of these books came out more recently than 30 years ago.
