With this feeling in her heart, after restoring the ball to the once more contented child, she ran into the house, and returned with a mug of new milk, and a slice of bread, spread with fresh country butter, which she handed to Rosalie and begged her to eat. 'Thank you, ma'am, said little Rosalie; 'but please may mammie have it?
"'Don't give me away, old man, he whimpered; 'for Gawd's sake, don't let on to any of the chaps 'ere that I'm a member of that blessed old waxwork show in Saint James's: they'd never speak to me agen. And keep yer mug shut about Oxford, there's a good sort. I wouldn't 'ave 'em know as 'ow I was one o' them college blokes for anythink. "I sat aghast.
"Do you love me, mamma?" said she, beating her mug against her red waiter. "When you are a good girl, Flaxie." "Well, look right in my eyes, mamma. Don't you see I are a good girl?

An hour ago I got rid of the last bores; then, during supper, I walked up and down in my room, and annihilated almost the whole fat sausage, which is very delicious, drank a stone mug of beer from the Erfurt "Felsenkeller," and now, while writing, I am eating the second little box of Marchpane, which was, perhaps, intended for Hans, who has not got any of the sausage even; in its place I will leave him the little ham.

"To the King," the Major responded, as he raised his mug and clinked it against the visitor's. When this toast had been drunk, the Major again filled the mugs. "Now, another," he cried. "To the Loyalists, especially to Colonel Sterling's daughter, the fairest of them all."

She put them on a bedside table, went around to the other side of the bed, and lay next to him, her head propped up on pillows. They sipped tea and munched on muffins. "I like it here," Oliver said. "It's cozy," Suzanne said. "It's hard not talking to you at work," he said. "I hate it," she said. She put down her mug. "We don't need to think about that now." "No," he said, closing his eyes.
Then it struck him that his clothes had pretty well grown dry again, and he went over in his mind the incidents of the day and the past night, thoughts which were interrupted by the coming of Allstone, who bore some bread and meat, and a mug of beer, while a man behind him dragged in a table and chair, and afterwards carried in a straw mattress and a pillow, Allstone looking grimly on.
