"Oh! she went out a little while after Baby's exit," said Jasper, trying to speak lightly. "Mr. Loughead thinks she'd do it, if I asked her," Polly went on in her brightest way. "Now, that will be lovely, and the children will enjoy it so much." "Isn't there anything I could do?" asked Jack Loughead, after the Dunraven entertainment had been a bit discussed. Mr. King bowed his courtly old head.
She assured me that he was sprung from the dregs of the people, and that she had a great deal of trouble to teach him his proper place. Still, we know that she is not very particular as to what she says when she dislikes people. Yet she ought to know; for he was Jasper's laboratory servant at least so she said." "Oh, surely not a servant. Jasper never regarded him in that light.
"Oh, I'm well enough, mother. This is a splendid old place, isn't it?" Mrs. Kent laughed at Jasper. "Yes, it is a fine country-place." Jasper left the two, and went down stairs. "Say, mother, how about the will?" asked Thorne. "Is it all right?" "A third of the estate is left to me." "Only a third! Does Jasper get the rest?" "Yes." "That's a shame. You ought to have had half."
"And then I guess he was scared, too, for he said, 'That old cell isn't worth seeing, anyway, and I'm going down into the torture chamber, and they hurried off." "That torture chamber!" exclaimed Jasper; "how any one can hang over those things, I don't see; for my part, I'd rather have my time somewhere else."

"Oh, Jasper!" exclaimed Polly, who couldn't bear to think there was anything that he could not do. "Well, I can't," said Jasper. "Let me see some of your sketches," begged Adela. "It's so nice to find some one else who can draw. Do show me some."
There were so many people about!" "Well, if you had noticed something hanging around, that would have been Jimphy. His real name is Jasper, but Cecily never calls any one by his real name ... except me. She can't think of a name for me!" They entered the auditorium and stood for a moment looking about the theatre.
But to see his three great daughters, strong and handsome wenches, making upon either side, as if somebody would run off with them this was the very thing that taught me how to value Lorna, and her pure simplicity. After the Snowes came Jasper Kebby, with his wife, new-married; and a very honest pair they were, upon only a hundred acres, and a right of common.
Jasper inquired "if that annuity was to continue?" Mr. Gotobed referred the inquiry to Darrell, observing that the object for which this extra allowance had been made was rendered nugatory by the death of Mrs. Darrell, and that it could signify but little what name might in future be borne by one whose connection with the Darrell family was wholly dissolved.
Don't ever fail morning and evening every Sunday. Don't forget that." "Why?" "It's the most important thing of all." "Does going to church make such a hit with the young female Jasper the Jasperette, as it were?"
