They may take our mountains, our valleys, and our bogs; but, bad luck to them, they can't steal our 'blarney; that's the privilege one and indivisible with our identity. And while an Englishman raves of his liberty, a Scotchman of his oaten meal, blarney's our birthright, and a prettier portion I'd never ask to leave behind me to my sons.
Lionel Poynter, "if Sir John will suffer me; Vincent, my good friend, we are wrong Pypp's wrong, and so am I. First then, let me beg pardon of a very pretty girl, for making her look prettier by blushes; next, as the maid really is engaged to you, my fine fellow, it is not beneath a gentleman to say, I hope that you'll forgive me for too warmly admiring your taste; as for George's imputation, Vincent "

But what a pity Laura is not a little taller about Fanny's height; and as I was looking at Fanny the other day, I thought how sorry I was for Mr. Whitloe that Laura was not just a little prettier. She has such a nose; and then her complexion!

Now you're down here, I don't see any sense in layin' out money to go back at all. Mandy'll send our things down." "You don't mean to stay right along here in this house, and not go back to Green River at all?"
She waved a gay greeting and smiled her welcome to him through the throng. Max Hempel, close behind, caught the message, too, and recognized the face of the girl who smiled as the original of the newspaper cut he had just been studying so assiduously. Deliberately he dogged the young man's heels. He wanted to get a close-up view of Laura LaRue's daughter. She was much prettier than the picture.
