Any time will do," said Brian, shrinking a little from the allusion to his own story that he knew would follow. "No time like the present," responded Heron, obstinately. "I've been a pig-headed brute; that's the chief thing. Now, don't interrupt, Luttrell. Miss Murray, you know, was engaged to me when you first saw her."
Douglass Byrd wrote his piece and Judge Luttrell, who is the son of one of that famous Tennessee hero's best friends and staff-officers, was so affected he blew his nose feelingly.
Before the clocks of London had struck eight he was travelling westwards along the King's Road. Hillyard was afraid. He did not formulate his fears. He was not sure of what he feared. But he was afraid terribly afraid; and for the first time anger rose up in his heart against his friend. Luttrell! Harry Luttrell!
He heard one shout from Gunston, and that was all "Good God, Luttrell, we're lost!" And then the avalanche swept them onwards, first with a sharp, hissing sound, and then with a grinding roar as of thunder, and Brian gave himself up for lost, indeed. He was not sorry. Death was the easiest possible solution of all his difficulties.
Blake, who by now had come to realize that his friend's affairs were not mended by his interruptions, moodily shrugged his shoulders, scowling. "Come, sir," said Colonel Luttrell, engagingly, "answer the question." "Aye," roared Albemarle; "let your invention have free rein." Again poor Richard sought refuge in the truth.

"I have got my pretty bird caged at last, and she may beat her wings against the bars as much as she pleases, but she will not leave her cage until she is a little tamer than she is now. When she can sing to the tune I will teach her, I will let her go." "What do you mean?" said Kitty. "Stand away from the door, Mr. Luttrell. I want to pass."
"You say that Mr. Colquhoun is going to send out his clerk, Salt, to stop Brian Luttrell when he lands at Pernambuco. I have just seen Mr. Colquhoun, and he agrees with me that this proceeding is of very doubtful utility.... Now, don't interrupt me, I beg.
Luttrell was sickening of some illness probably the same fever that had caused so much mortality in the village. The baby was hastily taken away from her, and a nurse provided. This nurse was a healthy young woman with very thick, black eyebrows and a bright colour; handsome, perhaps, but not prepossessing.
