"Give way, my lads, we've no time to stay," cried Sir Robert. "Take this, Smallbones," said Jemmy. "Why, so it is, Jemmy Ducks!" replied Smallbones, with astonishment "why, how did you come here?" "Sarcumstances," replied Jemmy; "how did you come there?" "Sarcumstances too, Jemmy," replied Smallbones.
I ran aft as soon as might be, and only pulled up at the cabin door to summon such air of calm as I might. I rapped, but followed in, not waiting. Helena met me, pale, her eyes wide, her hair disheveled, but none the less mistress of herself. "What is it?" she demanded. "What makes it jolt?" "We've gone aground," said I. "She does pound a little, doesn't she?"
We've noticed a change in him ever since you left. Gout's been at his leg, off and on, a deal shrewder. But he rides to hounds, and dines his tenants still, that he does; he's one o' th' old style. Everything you eat and drink's off his estate, the day he dines his tenants. No humbug 'bout old Squire Beltham. I asked him if Sewis was alive.
"I hope you will have a chance to put your theories into most happy and successful practice." "Little chance of it here in 'Bushtown, as Hannibal calls it," said Zell suddenly. "Well," said Edith, in a kind of desperate tone, "we've got to decide on something at once. I will suggest this. Laura must take care of mother, and teach a few little children if she can get them.
When the door had closed she turned back to Sophy Viner with a look that sought her confidence. "I'm so glad you came, my dear. We've got so many things to talk about, just you and I together."

We've talked with him tried to be friendly. And he he's always jolly, you know like now!
She ain't got no right to run off and leave her two children and that old man to get along as best they can. But she does it often. I thought there would be trouble just as soon as I seen her sitting on your steps t'other day." "Well, I wish we'd known it," sighed Janice. "She she did seem sort of funny. But she wasn't much worse than some of the others we've had."
You and I belong to the free-livin', hard-ridin', straight-shootin' Southerners. The people before us fought bears, and fought Indians, and beat the British, and when there wasn't anything else left to beat, turned round and began to beat one another. It was the one battle we found didn't pay. We finished that job up in '65, and since then we've been lookin' round for something else to beat.
She declared, the next day, that you were 'personal, and injured her feelings; and 'twas all because you was rich and she was a poor lone widow, with nothing but her God to trust in." "Oh, dear me," said Uncle Nathan, "it is a queer world, a queer world; but after all it's the best we've got. Let us try to make it better still."
'But we've told you over and over again how it was! they would exclaim. 'Yes, I know, I know. It's all right. I'm not complaining: I never expected you to be as cool as I was, your first time.
