'When papa comes from the dining-room I will thank you to ask him to step up to my bed-room.
Slope. "Well, my dear, I shall be sorry to be harsh, or to do anything that can hurt your father; but, positively, neither that man nor his wife shall come within my doors."

"We haven't said anything about it. Ban broke his back this afternoon. He threw himself off the bank, and I ran the risk of being caught underneath." "I wonder, I wonder," Mrs. Grantly communed aloud. "There is something in this.... It is a warning.... Ah! You were hurt yesterday riding Miss Story's horse! That makes the two attempts!"
