But it was a good two minutes before he was sufficiently recovered to look round angrily, and in a highly-pitched quavering voice exclaimed: "Look here: who was it did that?" "Nobody," roared Dick. "Oh, I say, Tom, what a game! Are your feet wet?"
The other day, a lady somewhat turned of thirty, of genteel appearance and engaging address, entered this shop, and asked to see some white lace veils. Several were shewn to her at the price of from twenty-five to fifty louis each. These not being sufficiently rich to please her taste, others more costly were produced, and she fixed on one of eighty louis in value.
Your true radical or republican the name "liberal" is a misnomer is, as I have often heard the vicar say, one of the most intolerant, illiberal persons under the sun. His idea of freedom, is, that everybody should be free to do as he pleases: if they object to his programme, they are evidently not sufficiently "advanced" to suit him!
A larger number of newspapers became sufficiently independent to attack abuses in both parties. The New York Times and Thomas Nast's cartoons in Harper's Weekly were most important factors in the overthrow of the Tweed Ring in New York City, and in the elections of 1884 and later, newspapers exerted an unusual power.
You are as well aware as I am, that I have had many disadvantages to leave behind me in life.

He was sufficiently mean not to tell her what had happened, and Janice—being built on a different plan from Lucinda—had not kept near enough to the keyhole to be posted anyway. "Mr. Denham says you want me," she said, coming to the bedside with her customary pleasant smile. "I do," said her mistress. "I want to speak to you on a very serious subject and I want you to pay a lot of attention.
"You have been letting slip the vital principle, if you are a fair specimen of the race. You do not clothe yourself in substance. Your souls are not coated sufficiently. Beef and brandy would have saved you. You have exhaled for lack of them." The schoolmaster shook his head, and probably thought his earthly salvation and sustenance not worth buying at such a cost.
It is all frightfully disappointing, for surely one's heart beat high when one made up one's mind to do what one could for suffering Belgium and for the sake of the English name. Those two poor girls at ! I know they meant well, and had high ideas of what they were going to do. Poor souls, the people here aren't a bit happy. I wonder if the work is sufficiently "sanctified." One never knows.
