"All a chap's got to do to make 'em thrive, mother," he would say, "is to be friends with 'em for sure.
Albert did not feel sure that it might not become a life-work with him. It would be a delightful thing to study microscopic botany forever, if he could have Helen Minorkey to listen to his enthusiastic expositions.
Why were not they more punctual? It was dirty, indeed, but what did that signify? I am sure John and I should not have minded it. I never mind going through anything, where a friend is concerned; that is my disposition, and John is just the same; he has amazing strong feelings. Good heavens! What a delightful hand you have got! Kings, I vow! I never was so happy in my life!
I'm sure you think I've done the right thing don't you? And, mind this, I shall hope to see you some day." And so saying, she gave him a kindly grasp, and they parted. "Done right!" said Bertram; "yes, I suppose she has; right enough at least as far as I am concerned. After all, what husband is so convenient as a barber's block?"
I've walked all the way run some of it to make sure he got here." "He got here," murmured Chester, thinking to himself that this was the queerest story he'd over heard, but confident he would never have any better version of it and pretty sure that it was the true one.

"No one; but unhappily every one is cock-sure of his opinion till he changes it and then he is as sure as before till he changes it again!" "Opinion is not sight, your father says," answered Molly; and again a little pause followed. "Well, but, Molly," resumed Walter, "how is that precious thing, leisure for thought, to be come by? Write reviews I will not! Write a history, I can not.

"Who are you?" he asked, "though I am sure you are Englishmen." "Yes, I am Percy Broderick, and this is my friend Denis Maloney." "And I am Rupert Broderick," said the person in the boat, leaping out, and shaking hands warmly with his brother and then with Denis. "I am delighted to see you, and so will father and mother be, and the girls. We were beginning to grow anxious about you.
"Well, sir, because I like you, for one thing, and another is because you are such an unreasonable chap." "I? Unreasonable?" cried Rodd hotly. "That I'm sure I'm not!"
