"And did you add to that advice that he should quit those associates who had assisted to bring him to such a pass?" "Certainly not; why should I meddle with him in his companionships? You speak, Mr. Brunton, as if I were your nephew's keeper. If George Weston liked to live beyond his means, he was at liberty to do it for me.

Could those honest priests and parasites have ever dreamed, before the birth of this upstart republic, that merchants, manufacturers, and farmers, mechanics and advocates the People, in short should presume to meddle with affairs of state?

"You want to meddle in other people's business, and put your finger into a will case. Why, you wretched man, you would be crushed like an egg-shell! My patron is His Excellency, Monseigneur le Comte Popinot, a clever man and a man of high character, whom the King in his wisdom has summoned back to the privy council.

"Here she is!" cried the woman, pointing toward Pinky, from whom she had sprung back the moment she heard the word police. "She came in here drunk and got up a row. I'm a decent woman, as don't meddle with nobody. But she's awful when she gets drunk. Just look at her been tearing her clothes off!" At this there was a shout of merriment from the crowd who had witnessed the fight.

I had not enough experience or timidity to care to meddle directly in affairs of that description; I recommended a third person to you, who, not less sharp-sighted than I am, suspected the game you wished to play." "That is impossible-he would not have discounted these bills if he had thought them false." "How much money did he give you for the one hundred and thirteen thousand francs?"

It was natural for Captain Weisspriess to express astonishment at this outburst, and the accompanying quiver of Wilfrid's lip.

But you have with actresses, you have with common strumpets: whence your reputation derives a greater perdition, than your estate.

"You may perhaps resent my advice, but I think it's sound; you would be rash to meddle. A small sum would be swallowed up and make no difference. You would be poorer and Mr. Osborn would not gain."
