She was so indignant that I believe she would have laid the whip across the man's shoulders, if his master had not pushed him back without ceremony. "A zealous servant," said the superintendent, smiling pleasantly. "Please excuse him." My aunt pointed to the cell door. "Open it," she said, "Let me see anything, rather than set eyes on that monster again!"
"I tell you what, Paganel," added Glenarvan, "your being on board the DUNCAN is a perfect providence." "All right. Look on me as a messenger of providence, and let us drop the subject."
"I never know whether to laugh at their laboured jokes or not. Of course, it is pretty manners to do so, be the wit never so stale; but on the other hand it encourages them in their evil habits, and seems to me as doubtful a form of hospitality as offering a brandy-and-soda to a confirmed drunkard." "Dear friend, let us never try to be funny!" "Amen!
Let me stay and take care of this. What if I am suspected and denounced and hung? The property will be yours." "My more than father!" cried Coronado. "You shall never sacrifice yourself for me.

Let him modestly accept those hints of a more beautiful life which he meets with; how to do with few and easily gotten things: but let him seize with enthusiasm the opportunity of doing what he can, for the virtues are natural to each man and the talents are little perfections.
