He returned in about half an hour, and having this time to run the gauntlet of the street alone, entered with a mien which caused his wife's complaints to remain unspoken.

"I see her on the tram," he said, at last "Her name's Robinson Miss Robinson." "In-deed!" said his wife.
Yes, I am sorry for Joe, because he is a likely young fellow, and gains upon one every time one sees him. But he'll start off, you'll find. Indeed he told me as much himself! 'Indeed! cried Dolly in a faint voice. 'In-deed! 'Is the tea tickling your throat still, my dear? said the locksmith.

Now then, I've got you! Such a thunderbolt as you have just let fly ought to have made me jump out of my chair, but it didn't stir me the least little bit, you see.
I know nothing of the Land of Oz, and I know nothing of Kansas." "Why, this is the Land of Oz!" cried Dorothy. "It's a part of the Land of Oz, anyhow, whether you know it or not."

Would that be Hereford Cathedral, Mr. Dean? 'No, Worby, says the Dean, 'that's Southminster Cathedral as we hope to see it before many years. 'In-deed, sir, says my father, and that was all he did say leastways to the Dean but he used to tell me he felt really faint in himself when he looked round our choir as I can remember it, all comfortable and furnished-like, and then see this nasty little dry picter, as he called it, drawn out by some London architect.
