"Hullo," said Popplethorne, one of the other middies, looking up from the plate on which he was busily engaged; while several other fellows, similarly employed ceased operations likewise, staring at Tommy in astonishment. "What's up?" "Nothing's up, but everything seems down," replied my little chum in an aggrieved tone.
She's subject to moods, they say, when nothing's exciting enough; must skate on thin ice, must have a man skating after her. If the poor devil weighs more than she does, in he goes." "That's like her father, old Cheriton. I knew him at the club one of the old sort of squires; married his second wife at sixty and buried her at eighty.
"No one." "Or ever will?" "Never." "Sure?" "Quite." "I'm sure too. And nothing's ever ever going to change it." "Nothing. What could?" "I love you. Oh, how I love you!" she whispered, as she nestled closer to him. "Don't you believe I love you?" he asked hoarsely. "Prove it." "How?" "By kissing my eyes."
"Only fancy!" answered Ignat, surprised at the broadening grin on his face in the mirror. "Impudence! Impudence!" they heard behind them the voice of Mavra Kuzminichna who had entered silently.

That's what the old man ought to do, though send out a messenger, and if he didn't find the General he'd find out how things are going. I believe the Boers are licking our regular troops."

No one's died yet, or even hurt themselves."
"Steal it: hide in her room; you know she has a shower-bath there, which nobody has used for years, standing in a corner; two or three cloaks in it, nothing else: it locks inside, how lucky! ensconce yourself there, watch the old woman to sleep what a fat heavy sleeper she is! quietly take her keys, and steal the store: remember, it is a honey-pot.
