Amyas had prepared his speech to Frank about Rose Salterne, but now that it was come to the point, he had not courage to begin, and longed that Frank would open the matter.
I just put my head out of the window to see the coach go by, and a nail caught me here." "Why, you little plague! you have scratched yourself you are always in mischief. What business had you to look after the coach?" "I don't know," said Sidney, hanging his head ruefully.

Sidney, beneath a sumptuous patch-work quilt, was smoking. 'Nah! I'm only thankin' God I ain't my own landlord. Take that cheer. What's she done? 'It hasn't gone down enough for me to make sure.
