"That's right, Springer," he admitted, "I reckon I ought. I allow I clean forgot myself." Somehow this quiet admission, which was wholly unexpected, seemed to enrage Phil still more. "I suppose you think everybub-body around here is afraid of you now that they've found out your father was a genuine bad man," Springer sneered. "Well, you'll discover there's one person who isn't afraid.
Markland, in a lower tone of voice, as if the admission were made reluctantly. "But so it is. I am but a man, and man is always dissatisfied with his actual, and always looking forward to some good time coming. Ah, sir, this faculty of imagination that we possess is one of the curses entailed by the fall. It is forever leading us off from a true enjoyment of what we have.
Six great acts of skill and strength, any one of which is worth the price of admission! Entrez, Mesdames, and see the fight between Signor Cleofonte, the strongest man in the world, and the savage bear captured from the forests of Siberia!
Bryce accompanied this candid admission with a look which seemed to say: Here we are, three men of the world, who know what things are we understand each other! And while Jettison merely nodded comprehendingly, Mitchington put his thoughts into words. "To be sure, doctor, to be sure!" he said. "And accordingly what's their affair, is yours! Of course!" "Something like that," assented Bryce.
The Major looked aghast. "God bless me, how singular! How could the savage contrive to obtain admission? or was he in reality an Indian?" "No more questions, MAJOR Blackwater.

On the mother getting the child admitted into our school, she desired me to be very gentle with him, relating to me all the above story, except that the child had had a fit. About a fortnight after the admission of the child, he came running one day into the school, exclaiming, "I'll be a good boy, master! master! I'll be a good boy."

The widow Coman, in Essex, had recently lost her husband; and her pastor, the Reverend Mr. Boys, went to cheer her in her melancholy. Because he had heard her accounted a witch he questioned her closely and received a nonchalant admission of relations with the Devil. That astounded him.
M. Desmalions, meanwhile, began briefly to review the new solutions, and he concluded by still discussing certain points. "Yes, that's it ... there is not the least shadow of a doubt.... We agree.... It's that and nothing else. Still, one or two things remain obscure. First of all, the mark of the teeth. This, notwithstanding the husband's admission, is a fact which we cannot neglect."
The difficulty of gaining admission into the theatre, even when she had appeared upward of a hundred nights, was so great, that it was found necessary, in order to prevent the practice of jobbing in tickets, which was becoming very prevalent, to issue them according to the following directions, which were put forth by the manager: "Tickets must be applied for on the day preceding that for which they are required, by letter, signed with the applicant's proper and Christian name, profession, and place of abode, and sealed with wax, bearing the writer's initials with his arms.
