I shall never forget an incident that occurred, about the time this yoke of steers were three years old, and when I was about twelve years of age.
Zea favored the suit of the high-spirited and clever young Englishman, whose intelligence, independence, and perseverance, to say nothing of his good looks and his engaging manners, had quite won his heart. By policy, too, no less than by pleasure, the match recommended itself to him; my father would make a famous junior-partner.
Here we are, two people getting along in years, and our children have made a match of it; and we are used to each other, that's a very important thing in marriage. It's just plain common sense, after David is on his own legs in the hospital, for us to join forces. Perhaps in the early summer? I won't be unreasonably urgent.
He explained his views to the King, who gave him permission to follow them out, and promised to serve him with all his protection. But when the subject was broached to M. de Mantua, he declined this match in such a respectful, yet firm, manner that M. le Prince felt he must abandon all hope of carrying it out.

"I am afraid," said Archie, "that some one will get the start of us. Let's get up." "No; lie still and go to sleep," said Frank. "I am afraid we shall oversleep ourselves. I wonder what time it is."

We must make the best of the match, John, and don't let the trial of their stay here be too long. Get them away as soon as possible." "Harry says that he has decided to make his home in or near London." "Then he is going to leave the mill?" "Yes." "What is he thinking of?" "Music or art. He has no settled plans. He says he must settle his home first."
He lauded almost extravagantly my nether extremities, my swelling calves in silk hose drawn up to the limit, and eulogised glowingly my other hidden treasures in priceless lace which, he said, he could conjure up.

The two men shook hands. "I played golf with you once at Woking," Norgate reminded his new acquaintance. "I not only remember it," Prince Edward answered, "but I remember the result.
