Come, this is life! How splendid it is! This is how I should like to live!" "Why, who prevents you?" said Levin, smiling. "No, you're a lucky man! You've got everything you like.
"I was looking for a book I had lost," said Bosher, "in the Big near our door, and I heard Cusack tell Pilbury to wait till he went and saw if the coast was clear. So they'll be here directly." "Jolly lucky you heard them," said Parson. "What shall we do, you fellows?" There was a slight interval for reflection, and then Telson said, "Fancy the jug dodge is about the best.
But he's the worse devil of the two. Eh! what was I saying? And always give a look into my room every night before you go to roost. The place swarms with cracksmen, and one can't be too cautious. Lucky dog, you, to have nothing to be robbed of!" Beck winced at that last remark.
