"Yes," said the professor, "there is a deal of sand there, and no houses, no butlers' pantries, no kitchens." "Well, sir, if I made up a box with half a knifeboard for a lid, and my bottle o' blacking, my brushes, and a leather or two and the rouge for my plate, I daresay I could get on." "Bah-h-h-h!" snarled the professor.
Roger Hamley did not say much about that unfortunate little Osborne Hamley, I suppose. 'On the contrary. He says his father dotes on the child; and he seemed very proud of him, himself. 'I thought the squire must be getting very much infatuated with something. I daresay the French mother takes care of that.
His face changed, as she had meant it to do. He choked back a sharp rejoinder. "I'd be obliged, if you'd leave my affairs out of the question." "I daresay you would. But that's just what I don't intend to do. For if there are rumours going the round about me, what on earth is one to say of you? I needn't go into details. You know quite well what I mean.
You're only a boy yet, with plenty o' time before you. Make yourself as happy as you can; these chaps are not so very bad when they don't want to get fighting, and I daresay you and me will be good enough friends. Eh? Hullo! What's the matter?"
'We shan't see anything, said Edith in gloom. 'Never mind, said Miss Beresford, good-naturedly; 'we shall have crossed the Alps in a snowstorm, and that sounds well. And I daresay we shall amuse ourselves somehow. Do you feel inclined to give up your carriage to-day again? She had turned to Frank King.

Spargo thought awhile, pacing up and down the river bank. "I daresay you're right," he said. "Now, what's to be done?" Breton, too, considered matters. "I wish," he said at last, "I wish we could get in there and overhear what's going on. But that's impossible I know that cottage. The only thing we can do is this we must catch Myerst unawares. He's here for no good. Look here!"
Cossey is a crack shot, I daresay that I shall be nowhere; but I will shoot as well as I can." "Do you know, it is very feminine, but I would give anything to see you beat him?" and she nodded and laughed, whereupon Harold Quaritch vowed in his heart that if it in him lay he would not disappoint her.
"But it is a terrible place to be shut up in. Hasn't he been very long?" "Oh, no. I daresay he'll be a long time yet. Come, cheer up. Let's watch the water there. I wish I knew what the time was. Can't we tell? When the water looks blackest it ought to be high water. I wonder whether we shall see the arch quite cleared and the light shining through. Have you noticed it?"
At this moment, I daresay he is snapping his fingers, and telling the women that all the money in Saint Domingo won't buy him." "You are mistaken there," said Bayou. "He is a singular fellow, is Henri, in more ways than his cookery. I believe he never snapped his fingers in his life, nor told anybody what his master gave for him.
"Was your father a native Canadian?" "Oui Monsieur." "The name seems familiar to me," I remarked. "I daresay if you cared to look the matter up, you might find that your great grandfather was something or other under the Intendant Bigot or Vaudreuil, or earlier still under Maisonneuve the gallant founder of Montreal.
