"Who knows perhaps one of my own friends, a member of my club, for instance?" Then it would give the missus a lot of bother and worry, and she had all she could do in looking after the shop. To make a thing a success you must think of nothing else. It was a pity, but it wasn't to be thought of. Otherwise he seemed fairly well satisfied.
"You have seen the writing very well where was it?" "Up in Master James' room, the day he went off. Them's the same marks, Lor' knows." "In Mr. James Harrington's room!" exclaimed Mabel, white as snow. "Please, missus, tell jus' what the book was outside and in."

'I believe it was you, unless I have had the bad luck to mistake the person in following? 'Yes, missus, returned Stephen, 'it were me. 'Have you you'll excuse an old woman's curiosity have you seen the gentleman? 'Yes, missus. 'And how did he look, sir?
The number of spectators had gradually swelled from fifty to sixty and to eighty thousand; and no less than thirty-six chariots were waiting behind the carceres ready to start. Four 'missus' or races were to be run. In each of the three first twelve chariots were to start, and in the fourth only the leaders in the three former ones were to compete.

"You are a very good girl," said Maggie, "and if I were in your place I'd have a hundred smuts, not one. But take it off now, do; it's on the very center of your forehead.
"It never went off of itself when it was hanging above your bed. Guns never go off by themselves, no more than girls do. I am surprised at you, John.
