"Tut, tut," said Monsignor, "are you not as good as the best, with the blood of the Montgomerys and the Haskells in your veins? Are you to make strange with all this magnificence, as if you were Indians seeing it for the first time?" "That's what I've been sayin' to meself since it began," she replied. "Since what began?"
I believe your Northern Light was a forest fire, or or say, isn't that smoke rising above those trees there?" demanded Nipper Knapp. "Right, by go lies!" shouted Bruce, "but oh, I know, now.

New clubs are also cheap and in plenty, but repairs to old favourites are not always satisfactory.
"Tell you what I'll do with you, LaHume," said Chilvers, who never misses an opportunity to stir up trouble.

"I am not his rival in that or in any other capacity," warmly declared LaHume.
