"I'd like to know what bitterness yours has known, unless it's the bitterness of a bad conscience.
Dearest old mother, what a pride will you have, if I can do anything worthy of our name I and you, Laura, you won't scorn me as the worthless idler and spendthrift, when you see that I when I have achieved a psha! what an Alnaschar I am because I have made five pounds by my poems, and am engaged to write half a dozen articles for a newspaper.
Mollett senior shook under the bedclothes as his attention became turned to this very dreary aspect of his affairs. "Pluck, indeed! I'll tell you what it is, Aby, I often wonder at my own pluck."

"Psha!" he said, a little nettled in his turn, "do you suppose I have never written to a Bishop before?" "That is not the point; any invitation of this kind should always be given by me.

"Pray, then, what is it that you have been grumbling about, ever since you have joined the ship?" "Psha! they were only petty vexations, but now we are at sea. I shall be sea-sick. I am always obliged to throw off the accumulation of bile whenever I go out of harbour." "I say, doctor," replied Pearce, "can you stop up the leak in that little gentleman's liver?

'You are beautiful as ever you were, he said. 'Psha! Do not tell me of that. I care nothing for my beauty unless it can bind me to your love.
I couldn't help his writing to me. It wasn't my fault." "Psha!" "If you are angry, I am very sorry. But you haven't a right to be angry." "Go on, Dorothy; go on.
