Because Sophy is going to be married to that oaf, you are become so proud of her that you haven't half a thought for anybody else. 'That's very unjust, Georgiana. 'I know what's unjust, and I know who's ill-treated. I tell you fairly, mamma, that I shall write to Mr Brehgert and tell him that I am quite ready to marry him. I don't know why he should be afraid of papa.
The oracle declares it suits your cousin best," he added, in a lower tone. "All the oaf knows!" I responded. "I wish you'd admire it, Mr. Dudley. Mr. Rose don't like amber, handles it like nettles."

With a little trouble we made out to examine the papers without Bartleby, though at every page or two, Turkey deferentially dropped his opinion that this proceeding was quite out of the common; while Nippers, twitching in his chair with a dyspeptic nervousness, ground out between his set teeth occasional hissing maledictions against the stubborn oaf behind the screen.

For while Heinz let himself be lugged this way and that, Dove, grown loud and wilful, had ideas of his own, and, in addition to this, sang the whole time with drunken gravity: Sez the ragman, to the bagman, I'll do yees no harm. "Stop it, you oaf!" cried Maurice, goaded to desperation. "You beastly, blathering, drunken idiot!"
"Poor leetle scairt girl, don' gry soh soh soh, dere's nuttun to pe 'fraid oaf. Dere, go to your hoasban'. Listen, popper's galling again; go den; goot-by." She loosened Trina's arms and started down the stairs. Trina leaned over the banisters, straining her eyes after her mother. "What is ut, Trina?" "Oh, good-by, good-by."

"Now then," said Dick as he dropped back, "the oaf made a mistake. If he'd gracefully accepted my offer, he'd have gone up several pegs in her estimation.
