Mrs. "Damn it!" said the General. "The vile creature!" cried Miss Diana. "I don't understand things of that sort," ejaculated the bewildered Mr. Glumford. "She has certainly gone," said the valiant General.
Glumford often boasted had been in his possession since his eighth year; namely, for about thirty-two legitimate revolutions of the sun.

He had scarcely got out of the town before he was overtaken by our worthy friend Mr. Glumford.
