For one thing, I'll want to do some figuring before I can say whether the price is right. It costs money to keep an airplane in the air, Mr. Lowell. You'd be surprised to see just how much a fellow has to pay out to keep a motor in good mechanical shape. And, of course, I wouldn't look at it at any price unless I was dead sure it was straight.
There was abundance of the several kinds of excellent wine made upon the estate, both white and red, and it was freely given to the children. Mr. K seemed surprised when we refused it for ours; and probably he could have given us good reason for his custom.
Dear little Vina is consecrated to her 'Stations' for two years more. Eliminate me as, forborne, a spinster.... Yet you told me two or three days ago that you wouldn't be surprised if your friend took his lady back " "That may be true, Beth," he interrupted. "But I spoke hastily. It sounds crude and an infringement now. I really didn't know Bedient " "When you invited your guests Mrs. Wordling?"
His face but the light was beginning to fail seemed a shade paler. "How did you know there was pike-drill?" he cried sharply. "I didn't tell you." "Hundreds know it." "But you!" McMurrough retorted. It was plain that he was disagreeably surprised. "Did you think I meant nothing when I said I played bonnet to it?" "You know a heap too much, Luke Asgill!" "And could make a good market of it?"
When she came back she walked over to where her father was sitting in his easy chair, and standing behind him she put her arms round his neck. Then she bent down her head. "Father," she said, "I've a bit of news for you!" "Yes, my dear?" "Father, I'm engaged! Aren't you surprised?" "Well, what do you think?" said Bunting fondly.
She looked up surprised: "Doesn't it?" And her eyes asked instinctively: "How did you know?" But the Colonel sat silent again, his head lowered and partly averted as though to turn his good ear toward her. Clearly his mind already dwelt on other matters, she was thinking; but she was mistaken.
"Where did they see him?" says the old man; and when I looked up to see how HE come to take an intrust in a little thing like that, his eyes was just burning into me, he was that eager. It surprised me so it kind of throwed me off, but I pulled myself together again and says: "It was when he was spading up some ground along with you, towards sundown or along there."
Nor can one be surprised that she is not pleased at this addition to her household cares and labors, for I have not told the worst. The woman is apparently in the last stages of consumption; one of the children is blind; another has hip-disease; and a third looks as if it would go the way its mother is going.

We now begged the interpreter, who with a few boys and men remained about us, to show us a place to sleep in, at which he seemed very much surprised, saying he thought we were very well accommodated where we were.
'It HAS a very rude appearance, Mr Pinch. 'Yes, I feel that, sir; but the truth is, I was so surprised to see them, and knew you would be too, that I ran home very fast indeed, and really hadn't enough command over myself to know what I was doing very well.
