The last discussion was very violent and eager, so that once I thought they would have quarrelled; on the heels of which their company parted, the bulk of them returning westward in a troop, and only three, Neil and two others, remaining sentries on the prisoner. "I could name one who would be very ill pleased with your day's work, Neil Duncanson," said I, when the rest had moved away.

'I don't think she has any near relations; her father was a very peculiar man, and, I fancy, had quarrelled with all his relations, and his wife's as well. I know none ever came to visit them, said Amy. 'She must have friends, said Stella. 'She says she would rather be put in prison than tell any of them, declared Amy. 'Then we must consult a lawyer. I wish Mr.

"That is our curate, the Reverend Mr. Binny Miss Grits that was; her pa was a grocer, and kept the Little Original Gold Tea Pot in Kensington Gravel Pits. They were married last month, and are just come back from Margate. She's five thousand pound to her fortune; but her and Miss B., who made the match, have quarrelled already."

Here, then, is the end of the question; and here I might come to an end also, were it not incumbent on me to explain how it is that, though Theology and Physics cannot quarrel, nevertheless, Physical Philosophers and Theologians have quarrelled in fact, and quarrel still. To the solution of this difficulty I shall devote the remainder of my Lecture.

"It was an unusual sort of thing to do, I admit, but the tale grows more lurid still, when I tell you that five months after the wedding she produced a son by the Lord knows who, one of her own tribe probably, and old Sir James was so infatuated with her that he never protested, and presently when he and John quarrelled like hell he pretended the little brute was his own child just to spite John."

Languid jelly-fish floated near, tremulously waving a thousand legs. A row of porpoises trundled along like a procession of cog-wheels. The sky became greyed save where over the land sunset colors were assembling. The two voyagers, back to back and at either end of the raft, quarrelled at length. "What did you want to follow me for?" demanded the freckled man in a voice of indignation.

He quarrelled with old Morton Sanders, and in time he retired to his farm, as though it were the pole of the earth. His land was his own to do with as he pleased. No man, no power but the Almighty and the law, could tell him what he MUST do. The tobacco pool was using the very methods of the trust it was seeking to destroy.

"But surely you will not be so unreasonable as not to hear what I have to say?" "I am a stranger in this country, and can have nothing of importance with one I do not know." "You have quarrelled with your lover and are in an ill-humour. "Perhaps so. Well! come! I believe you have guessed the cause." "Ah! it is the fate of us all to get into scrapes!

In wealth or in trouble, I always told grandfather you would come back. . . . That hat, now the very latest I'll be bound. . . . And how is your good gentleman?" "Mother! Please do not call him that!" "Why, you ha'n't quarrelled, ha' you?" "Indeed, no." "That's right." Mrs. Josselin nodded, looking extremely wise.

At present it's merely talk, started by that Pinkerton woman, and sneaking about from person to person in the devilish way such talk does.... I was with Gideon yesterday, and saw two people cut him dead....
