"What is it that you wished to see me about?" began Mrs.
Preposterous! Why, during the seven years I lived with your predecessor she did not cost me that!"

It was soon known that Mr. Kennedy McClure did not carry his money about with him. He had deposited his pocket book with the city correspondents of Sir Willliam Forbes's bank, and now walked about with a light step, his blackthorn cudgel in his hand, and a glad light of battle in his eye.
His carriage is there, I know, waiting for me." Phineas immediately started off to have the carriage called, and promised to return with as much celerity as he could use.

I told you the last time we talked in the park that I wouldn't stay in Kennedy Square a day longer even if you begged me to.

One was from Lady Laura Kennedy to her friend Phineas Finn, and the other from Violet to her aunt, Lady Baldock.
Clark, of Company G, and lieutenant J.L. Talbert fell dead, and many others wounded. The Second and Eighth had climbed the mountains, and advanced on Harper's Ferry from the east. The Second was commanded by Colonel Kennedy and the Eighth by Colonel Henagan.
Knock it off or I'll have you under arrest." The Texcocan team head turned abruptly to Mayer and Kennedy. "Let's stop this nonsense. We've come to compare progress. Let's begin." The three members of the Genoese team glared back in antagonism, but then Gunther said grudgingly, "He's right. There is no longer amiability between us, so let's forget about it.
The next morning my father-in-law's butler noticed something peculiar about the milk. He barely touched some of it to his tongue, and he has been violently ill ever since. I at once sent the milk to the laboratory of my friend Doctor Leslie to have it analyzed. This letter shows what the household escaped." "My dear Gennaro," read Kennedy.
