I had not yet spoken to Coralie; my brother-in-law monopolized her. "I ought to speak to her, I suppose?" I said to Varvilliers at last. "A thousand pardons for engrossing your Majesty!" he cried. "Yes, I think you should." William Adolphus' voice flowed on in the account of a match between one of his horses and one of somebody else's.
Morgan was in possession and refused to vacate the premises said he was occupying his own cabin and not interfering with anybody else's and said the cabin was standing on the same dirt and same ranch it had always stood on, and he would like to see anybody make him vacate.
I don't believe as anybody could have a secret with anybody in this town 'cause you'd know very well as if you did n't get 'round pretty quick an' tell it first the other one would be gettin' ahead o' you an' tellin' it before you. Of course I could see Elijah's drift all right. Them city papers has turned his head completely just as they do everybody else's when they first get a new idea.
But the fond boy, with oaths and protestations, laughter and incoherent outbreaks of passionate emotion, could not be got, for some little time, to put up with Esmond's raillery; wanted to kneel down to him, and kissed his hand; asked him and implored him to order something, to bid Castlewood give his own life or take somebody else's; anything, so that he might show his gratitude for the generosity Esmond showed him.
What would they think if they saw you in tears and great distress? They would say you were sure of your son's guilt; and the few who may still doubt will doubt no longer.

"Essentially an indestructible machine with a built-in source of power that one can't reach. It had to be built that way a war instrument, you know."
I laughed heartily at my own jokes, and everybody else's; called Steerforth to order for not passing the wine; made several engagements to go to Oxford; announced that I meant to have a dinner-party exactly like that, once a week, until further notice; and madly took so much snuff out of Grainger's box, that I was obliged to go into the pantry, and have a private fit of sneezing ten minutes long.

"Not that I know of, Scattergood." "Nice drive. Old Man Plumm's got a farm there." "I know that, of course." "Don't figger to visit him?" "Why " said Norton, beginning to see that Scattergood had something in view "I could." "Wouldn't try to buy the farm, would you?" Norton hesitated. "I I might." "Cash?" "Why, I suppose so." "In your own name, eh? Not in anybody else's." "How much should I pay?"
