And he meant to do it, too!

I did feel queer; I don't think that I ever felt so queer before. I dared not move for the life of me, and the odd thing was that I seemed to lose power over my leg, which developed an insane sort of inclination to kick out of its own mere motion just as hysterical people want to laugh when they ought to be particularly solemn.
John Aylwin, merchant of London that the great object obtained from this vegetable dye, is the production of a red colour, without the aid of a mineral acid.

She may be able to make good her boast.
I love you!! I love you!!!" Her voice rose with hysterical vehemence at each repetition of the words then suddenly sank to a low hoarse cry of rage and despair. The sense of her true position toward him revealed itself in all its horror as the confession of her love escaped her lips. Her arms dropped from him; she flung herself back on the sofa-cushions, hiding her face in her hands.
"Your friends have warrants to arrest your father and Mr. Waverton for treasonable correspondence with the Pretender. But none for you, I fear, Mr. Boyce." "Devil a one," the man laughed. "Come, Ned, we'll be jogging," Out they swung. A bewildered company, full of suspicions, stared at one another. "Come, Harry, let us go home," Alison said. "Home!"
