When I went to see them, little Muriel remarked: 'If the yacht is on fire, mamma, had not baby and I better get our ulsters, and go with Emma in the boat to the hotel, to be out of the way? It is the third time in their short lives that they have been picked out of bed in the middle of the night and carried off in blankets away from a fire, so I suppose they are getting quite used to it.
"The finishing out his work. The trying to add one little bit to the sum total of permanent knowledge. The kind of thing you do yourself, doctor, once your patients give you time to get away from the trail of their beastly aches and pains." The doctor eyed his companion with a sort of grim amusement. "That last phrase sounds suspicious, Brenton," he remarked. "Are you also "
"There's nothing like goin amongst 'em to equire the reel pronounciation," his lordship said, as he let himself into his lodgings with his latch-key. "That was a very eloquent young gent at the 'Constantinople, and I'll patronize him." "Ah, perfide, je te demasquerai!" Jools remarked to himself as he went to bed in his "Hotel de l'Ail."
"Well, it look so dark all dis time dat I done got hungry fer supper," remarked Drusilla.

"It was an awkward letter to write and it's a comfort to have it over." "You have done it, my dear," remarked Sir Patrick, quietly. "And it may be a comfort. But it's not over." "What do you mean?" "I think, Blanche, we shall hear from your step-mother by return of post." THE letters to Lady Lundie and to Mr.
Corelli does not seem to have played it according to the ideas of the composer, for Handel, giving way to his impetuous temper, snatched the fiddle out of Correlli's hand. Corelli mildly remarked, "My dear Saxon, this music is in the French style, with which I am not acquainted."
