'Twill always have as long to spend As when it first begun. "Great God! no finite mind can tell How much a thing can be: I only pray that I may dwell That long, long time with Thee."

"Shall I be grateful because you leave the mother of your children alone with them while you spend your time at the public-house?" "No, not for that, but because I married you!" "You really think I ought to be grateful for that?" "Yes, like all decent people who have got their way!" "Well, there is no happiness in a marriage like ours. Your family doesn't acknowledge me!"

"To-day's Thursday, and I'm engaged to lunch and spend the afternoon with Mr St Aubyn. You know I told you all about it the very day he asked me." "Mr St Aubyn? I don't understand," said Aunt Charlotte, with a bewildered air.
"Can you arrange to spend the week-end with me at Stuyvesant Verplanck's at Bluffwood?" asked Kennedy over the telephone, the afternoon that I had completed my work on the newspaper of undoing what Annenberg and the rest had attempted.
