"Well, you can make them." "Make them?" "I can tell you something a great secret an immense secret. You can use it against them frighten them, force them." "A secret!" Newman repeated.
She won't be able to do any hard work, that's certain. If you want my advice, I tell you fair and square that I think she'd better go off for a visit as soon as she's fit. She thinks so herself. Clementine wants her to go and stay a spell with her in town. 'Twould be just the thing for her." "She can go if she wants to, of course," said David dully. "I can get along by myself for a spell."
"I won't say anything," Miss Monogue said, "until I've read more, but it's going to be extraordinarily good I think." What did he care about "Reuben Hallard?" What did that matter when he had Claire Elizabeth Rossiter in front of him. And then he pulled himself up. It must matter. How delighted an hour ago those words would have made him. "Oh! you think there's something in it?" he said.
For obvious reasons I made no audible answer; but I had just been resolving not to tell Biddy my suspicions unless it were necessary to do so. "No, we're not ill," I assured her.

I wonder how my aunt is by this time... And so, Sue, you really came on my account all this way! At what an early time you must have started, poor thing!" "Yes.

Melville believed the Indian spoke the truth. "Where are the rest?" "Go down oder side Muddy Riber won't come here." Melville was inclined to credit this statement also.
"So be it," said Henri. "You won't be shocked if I make my toilette before you?" "How absurd!" "We take so many things from the English just now that we might well become as great prudes and hypocrites as themselves," said Henri.
"But I do not want to go to sleep to-night," added Bernardine in the next breath. "I shall sit by the window, with my face pressed against the pane, watching for my my husband."

"But are you sure you have money enough?" asked Ernest. "Yes, I have enough for the present. By the time I need more I shall have earned it."
"Lord Brentford would put me down at once if I spoke to him on such a subject." "I am sure he would not. You are too big to be put down, and no man can really dislike to hear his son well spoken of by those who are well spoken of themselves. Won't you try, Mr. Finn?" Phineas said that he would think of it, that he would try if any fit opportunity could be found.
