Shan't we get the birthday safely over, and put off the business plans until tomorrow?" "Seems to me I remember that you are always telling me something about 'never putting off until tomorrow, etc., etc. No, sir," she continued with mock sternness, "I want to hear all about it." Still her father hesitated, until Ruth said hopefully, "You haven't lost all your money, have you?
In his facile comprehension of German and Latin books, he had long since forgotten his first painful steps: now in his agony they recurred to mock him. He had learnt these alien alphabets by observing in some bulky Hebrew books that when the printers had used up the letters of the Hebrew alphabet to mark their sheets, they started other and foreign alphabets.
My creditors, who have fallen on me here, will harass me, and my competitors will mock my misery which is caused by my vices. They will think that I dishonor the Faculty, and I shall be rebuffed. Neither doctor of the hospitals nor fellow, I shall be reduced to nothing but a doctor of the quarter. Of what use is it? The effort has been made here; you see how it has succeeded."

But her looks told me that there was sadness in her heart, and then I knew you could not love her. "You promise me you will never bring another wife to your wigwam. Deer-killer! the wife of the white man is happy, for her husband loves her alone. The children of the second wife do not mock the woman who is no longer beloved, nor strike her children before her eyes.
What if he were to reach such a climax in adiposity What if in the years to come he should be compelled, as was the unfortunate man from Berlin, to sit on a chair every five minutes, a chair carried by an impudent boy! What here his heart sank if the Fräulein should mock his size!
"I think I'd better order you to be shot, for if I should let you off, and find that you are Sam after all, I should always regret it," the lieutenant said, with mock gravity. "Don't shoot me; please don't I never hurt anyone in my life. I'm only in the country to make my fortune, and when I get it I'll leave. I swear that I will."
Not a warrant had been read or drawn up for their arrest. Not a single preliminary investigation, not the shadow of an information had preceded the long imprisonment of two men so elevated in rank, so distinguished in the public service. After the expiration of two months, however, the Duke condescended to commence a mock process against them.
