"I was just thinking about you," I said as they came up.
Enraged against a quondam friend, To Wisdom once proud Fortune said "I'll give thee treasures without end, If thou wilt be my friend instead." "My choicest gifts to him I gave, And ever blest him with my smile; And yet he ceases not to crave, And calls me niggard all the while." "Come, sister, let us friendship vow! So take the money, nothing loth; Why always labor at the plough?
The game is made; once that Jack Witherspoon faces my quondam guardian, I will soon know whether I am to be prince or pauper." It only lacked a quarter of eleven when the silver-haired Somers called Randall Clayton into his wire-screened den, and opened the door of the high-walled private compartment with its ground-glass sides.

However, sir, I have no hesitation in answering your questions. It was just five years ago, last summer, when I left the Tents of Kedar.
On his tomb were supposed to be inscribed the words: Hic jacet Arthurus rex, quondam rexque futurus. Henry II visited his legendary grave at Glastonbury, and named his grandson Arthur.
