"Really it's too absurd," he said, betraying his confusion by assuming a carelessness quite foreign to his normal manner. "In what way could I possibly be jealous, Miss Goff?" "That is best known to yourself." Lucian now saw plainly that there was a change in Alice, and that he had lost ground with her.
"Not even to please Miss Goff?" "Not even to please you. You'd only think the worse of me afterwards." "Quite true, and quite right," said Lydia, cordially. "Good-bye, Mr. Cashel Byron. I must rejoin Miss Goff." "I suppose you will take her part if she keeps a down on me for what I said to her." "What is 'a down'? A grudge?" "Yes. Something of that sort."
The question, she thought, implied that she was capable of spending her evenings on the first floor of a public-house. To her surprise, Lydia remarked, "I play a little. I do not care sufficiently for the game to make myself proficient. You were equipped for lawn-tennis, I think, when I saw you yesterday. Miss Goff is a celebrated lawn-tennis player.

But prior to this a lumber-mill was built by J.H.F. Goff and George Morrill in the northern part of the town.
They have lost seventy dead and wounded men, and the carcasses of horses are strewn along the lane. Kennedy is wounded in the arm and lies upon the stones, his faithful charger standing motionless beside him.

Mr. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, now Lieutenant-Governor of the State, arose to cross-examine her. "Madam," he began courteously, "you say you gave the defendant money?"
At that time I was only a boy, about nineteen years of age. "We had a long and hard ride to Reed's camp, on Goff creek, whence Short had sent up his message. Arriving there, we found Reed, who was catching wild horses, together with a man by the name of Patterson and another man, but Short was not in sight.
Why am I to be nailed to the cross with part of the entertaining? There's no hunting now. The hair is falling off grizzlies and Goff wouldn't take his dogs out at this season for the President of the United States. What would you think of detailing Paddy McGraw to give the young men a fast ride they have heard of him. I talked yesterday with one of them.
It is natural that he should wish to be out of the world." "The next point," resumed Lucian, "is more important, as it concerns you personally. Miss Goff is willing to accept your offer. And a most unsuitable companion she will be for you!" "Why, Lucian?" "On all accounts. She is younger than you, and therefore cannot chaperone yon.
Apthorpe's School for Young Ladies" was an occasional visit to our dear cousins, the Brewsters, who occupied a beautiful home on the Sound, formerly known as the "Pavillion," which might be called historic, for in a dark dungeon underneath the house the notorious regicides, Goff and Whalley, were hidden in the old, old times.
