"Haven't I?" Gillian laughed gaily. "I haven't always been as well off as I am not, and I expect I know quite as much about doing 'chores' as you! Come now!" She waited expectantly. "Dan would be awfully angry if he knew it's my duty, you see," objected June, visibly weakening. "If he knew! But what a husband doesn't know his heart doesn't grieve over," replied Gillian sagely.
"Let me at least repay that speech by taking you out of this squash," her friend said. "Surely people aren't happy here!" "No, they're awfully mornes, aren't they? But I'm very happy indeed and I promised Mr. St. George to remain in this spot till he comes back. He's going to take me away. They send him invitations for things of this sort more than he wants. It was so kind of him to think of me."
Dowson emerged rather hastily from the shadow of the bushes, and advanced, hat in hand. "I I am really most awfully sorry if I have startled you. I ... I would have called out sooner, but I trusted you would not perceive me." "Mr. Dowson!" Toni's voice was frankly dismayed. "What are you doing here? Were you coming to see me?"

Muriel Gay was a good actress, and as good a Western lead as they could produce; and you know how she stacked up alongside you. You're in a class by yourself, Jean. You want to keep that in mind.

Mary Rose looked sadly at the greedy George Washington. "But he's always had all he wanted. I can't tell you how much obliged I am and I'll come over every day.
Stevens has crossed on this boat twice, and introduced me to both the captain and the chief engineer before I started; they've both been awfully kind to me, and I've seen the "inwards and outwards" of the ship from garret to cellar, so to speak, and learned enough about navigation and machinery to make me want to learn a lot more. But even without all this, there would have been plenty to do.
"Thanks awfully, old chap!" he said cordially. "I’ll take these articles, if I may. It’s very good of you ... I’m in a tearing hurry " "Won’t your pilot come over and eat a bit?" "I’ll take him this bread and meat, if I may. Many thanks." He held out his heavily gloved hand with a friendly smile, nodded to Marie-Josephine.

She'd be awfully useful for that job ... milking cows ... but you wouldn't want her to be doing it all the time. It depends, I suppose, on what you want to do. If you've got any ambition!..." He did not finish the sentence, but Henry understood and nodded his head as if he agreed with him.
"These days here have been awfully pleasant: I wanted to thank you for making them so," he continued, his colour rising. She could not think of any reply, and he went on: "You've been wonderfully kind to me, and I wanted to tell you.... I wish I could think of you as happier, less lonely.... Things are sure to change for you by and by...."
Unfortunately, every day our losses are getting heavier from disease, foul air, and overcrowding; the women and children suffer awfully. If you are disposed to make yourselves useful when not on duty, you will find abundant opportunity for kindness among them.
