"And Lucia," she said at last, "will be so glad to see him again. We knew him so well, you know, in Eaton Square years ago."
In lat. 40° S. they fell in with an English ship, the Nicholas of London, of 26 guns, commanded by Captain John Eaton, with whom they joined company. They sailed together to the island of Juan Fernandez, where they arrived on the 23d March, and anchored in a bay at the south end of the island in twenty-five fathoms.
"I'm telling you that I do know it." "Have you seen him yourself?" demanded the treasurer incredulously. "Seen him, talked with him, cursed him and cuffed him," announced Ridgway with a reminiscent gleam in his eye. "Er what's that you say?" gasped the astounded Eaton. "Merely that I have already met Simon Harley." "But you said " " that I had cursed and cuffed him. That's all right. I have."
One view from the interior deserves special mention: viz. from the saloon, upon a terrace 350 feet in length, commanding one of the richest landscapes on the banks of Dee. The boasted terrace at Versailles is but 400 feet in length; yet, how many Englishmen, who have seen the latter, are even ignorant of that at Eaton.
Creeks and Spaniards and Redcoats he could conquer, but the ladies of Washington never surrendered, and Peggy Eaton, though her affairs became a national question, never got into Washington society.

There'll be more than forty men after her for to-morrow night! Smith! Arnold! Hudson! Hazeltine! Who are you betting will get her?"

"We'd better go home, I suppose," Hermione said. She gave her address to the cabman, and they drove in silence to Eaton Place.
Alfred Montgomery, when staying for the first time at Eaton, could not, on coming downstairs, find his way to the breakfast room till he encountered a friend who guided him.
