Off the Exchange with Sir J. Cutler and Mr.
Next morning, Bâyan arose betimes, and, taking the long bamboos, in which water is stored and carried, he went down to the river to have his morning bath, and to fetch water for his house.

Called on betimes by Murford, who showed me five pieces to get a business done for him and I am resolved to do it., Much business at my Lord's.

Can they get across next fall, think you?" "Hardly possible, sir," said I. "They could not go so swiftly as the special fur packets. Winter would catch them this side of the Rockies.
Then, turning away before Zack could ask him any more questions, he disappeared rapidly this time in the darkness of the street. Mr. Blyth was astir betimes on the morning after Mat and young Thorpe had visited him in the studio.
In the next place, what shall we say to the peace and satisfaction of mind in breaking, which the tradesman will always have when he acts the honest part, and breaks betimes, compared to that guilt and chagrin of the mind, occasioned by a running on, as I said, to the last gasp, when they have little to pay?
Up, and betimes to Sir Philip Warwicke, who was glad to see me, and very kind. Thence to Colonell Norwood's lodgings, and there set about Houblons' business about their ships.
Thence home and eat something, and then to my office, where very late, and then to supper and to bed. Captain Stokes, it seems, is at last dead at Portsmouth. This morning comes betimes Dicke Pen, to be my wife's Valentine, and come to our bedside.
