I daresay you know this without my telling you. On the other part, I will not add myself to those impertinents who as I understand you to report wish you "to improve." I very respectfully wish nothing of the sort. Few qualities are better worth leaving as they are than vivacity, wit, freshness of mind, gaiety and pluck. Pray keep them all. Don't improve by an atom.
Another half-hour passed, and the Colonel, putting a double cross-mark at the bottom of his paper that being how you write "Finis" on the press raised his head. "Mr. Queed." "Yes." The connecting door opened, and the young man walked in. His chief eyed him thoughtfully. "Young man, you have picked up a complexion like a professional beauty's. What is your secret?" "I daresay it is exercise.
"Then I'll come early thanks." "I daresay," he went on, "she'll send for you. I mean send a carriage." "Oh, I don't require that, thanks. I can go, for a penny, can't I?" she asked of Mrs. Assingham, "in an omnibus." "Oh, I say!" said the Prince while Mrs. Assingham looked at her blandly. "Yes, love and I'll give you the penny. She shall get there," the good lady added to their friend.
It's a big day, but that pony's a rum un, and can jump his own height easy. He'll be welcome home to-night. 'I daresay he will, and no wonder. The missus must ha' been awful frightened, and the young ladies too. Good-night, Jack; and we rattled off.

There are many things we say into God's ear which we could not tell to any one else. It makes Him very real to us, if we can say in our inmost hearts, "O God, Thou art my God, my very own Father."
"Oh, I daresay that had something to do with it!" he agreed. A curious vexation fretted her. She wished he would not look so handsome and yes! so indifferent.
I daresay you won't care to stay here, but will like to be taken away as soon as you are well enough to be moved; for, of course, we all know that you are a lady. Oh, it isn't the first time we have had a lady in the ward.
Don't talk about these things, Charlotte; you only encourage me to be bitter and discontented. I daresay I ought to be very happy, when I remember that I have dinner every day, and shoes and stockings, and a bed to lie down upon at night; and I am happier, now that I work for my living, than I was in the old time, when my cousin was always grumbling about her unpaid bills.

Now go and see to the preparations, and find out the plan of campaign, for I want to rest and keep quiet. I daresay the whole thing is humbug, and we shall see nothing of the Professor; still, one may as well be prepared."
"Why, Magglin," cried Mercer, "you're after rabbits." "Nay, nay; rats. They comes after the taters. Been fishing?" "Come on," whispered Mercer, and he ran along by the hedge, turning once more to the left, and at last pulling up in a clump of fir-trees, on the north side of the big house.
