"Is Lord Emsworth absent-minded?" Miss Willoughby laughed. "Why, he forgets his own name sometimes! If it wasn't for Mr. Baxter, goodness knows what would happen to him."

In the first place we'll head for Leadville, Colorado, and then we'll go to Indian Ridge and make some inquiries. We may get on the track of the place that way. If we don't, why I'll take the airship up as high as is necessary and sort of prospect until we see that big cliff that's shaped like a head. That will give us something to go by." "Well, do the best you can.
The magpie, by this time, had become exceedingly tired of such a long silence, and was beginning to think that she had stood upon her dignity quite long enough.

Don't be afraid of any one." The mother says, "Never do anything that you need be ashamed of, Algernon, and then you never need be ashamed of anything you do," and, beaming mildly at him, seems surprised at the clearness of her own logic.
"I shall go by that train." "I don't think I can get ready so soon," said Mark, deliberately. "Then you can come by yourself," replied Frank, impetuously. "I beg your pardon, Mark," he added.

I think you will recollect," he added pretentiously, "when I tell you that it included a performance of the Fifth Symphony of Beethoven."

That's the only Beethoven I ever remember specially."

I understand English pretty well; better as far as I can see than some of those I meet around me here; but I don't go beyond that, Mr. Green." "I merely meant to observe, Mr.

Billy, do you think it would be perfectly awful if I didn't try to make money at all?" "I think it would be a good deal wiser. I'll raise all the money you want on your expectations."

"She'd make an awful fuss, an' she's so good an' quiet now it's a pity to start her off. But her toys mus' go. They're very expensive, an' they're pomps an' vanerties, I know.
