On my desk was a wire from the Princess. She and the King would reach Dornlitz the next morning and I was expected to lunch at the Palace. I dispatched an answer that would meet the Royal train en route, and thought of Lotzen with indifference almost. When he came, I was going through a batch of papers which had just been brought in for my signature. "Don't let me disturb you," he said heartily.
Not for worlds would I disturb it; and, Angus, I found out another thing her name was not only Harman, but Charlotte Harman." There was no doubt at all that the other Charlotte was excited now, the color had come into her cheeks, her eyes sparkled. Her husband watched her with undisguised surprise. "I made a good thing of it Angus," she continued.
Our preparations being, on the 8th of June, reported to be favourably progressing, I determined to put the attack in execution so soon as the tide flowed late enough in the evening to prevent the enemy from perceiving us in time to disturb or defeat our operations.
A few moments later another rap sounded on the door, and again it opened before he could call. A shrewd-looking, rather trim old lady with carefully coiffed hair stood in the doorway. "Don't let me disturb you," she said, and again Bean murmured. "Mr. Bean, my grandmother," said the flapper.

"I seldom play," said the Psammead coldly. "Well, you know what I mean," Cyril went on impatiently. "What I want to say is: won't you let us have our wish just when we think of it, and just where we happen to be? So that we don't have to come and disturb you again," added the crafty Cyril.
With admirable frankness, he announces that he is no longer a Christian, but disclaims all idea of wishing to disturb the contentment of any one: he seems to recognise a contradiction in the notion of abolishing one society by instituting another whereas there is nothing contradictory in it at all.
The scarcity of colonial produce, the dearness of grain, the rigour of a hard winter, all contributed to disturb the people: the agitators turned all these misfortunes of the times into accusations and grounds of hatred against royalty. The government, powerless and disarmed, was rendered responsible for the severities of nature.
