For our parts, young ladies, we beg you to bottle up your tears, and not waste a single drop of them on any one of the heroes or heroines in this history: they are all rascals, every soul of them, and behave "as sich."

"We'll hope for the best." "Yes," agreed Tom, "that's all we can do hope for the best.

Shiner, who was vanishing round the door-post at that moment. "Well, I've been forced to go upstairs and unrind myself, and shake some bees out o' me" said Geoffrey, walking slowly towards the open door, and standing on the threshold. "The young rascals got into my shirt and wouldn't be quiet nohow." Dick followed him to the door.
"Depress the muzzles of your guns as much as you can, and give the treacherous rascals their contents as you bring them to bear," cried I. "We shall only have time for one round, and if that does not stop them we shall be obliged to fight them hand to hand!"
