As he settled himself into his plate, his eye fell upon the pile of baggage which I had bribed the station-master to establish in my corner of the carriage a portmanteau, a hat-box, a rug wrapped round an umbrella, and one or two smaller parcels all legibly labelled G.

It is very amusing to teach French to a mind of that age so thoroughly drilled in grammar." "A capital thing for Percy, but I thought at least you would have deputed the Infanta." "The Infanta was a little overdone with the style of thing at Woodside. She and Sydney Evelyn had a romance about good works, of which Miss Parsons completely disenchanted her -rather too much so, I fear."
A very remarkable nugget weighing 16 3/4 oz. was sluiced from near the surface in one of my own mining properties at Woodside, South Australia, some years ago, which illustrated the nuclear theory very beautifully.

There are square miles in my vicinity which have no inhabitant. From many a hill I can see civilization and the abodes of man afar.
The woodside cottage was merely a lodging maintained at no great cost, to be sure as an evidence of prosperity and respectability. It would hardly do for one to whom the local newspaper had pointed with pride as "the foremost jurist of his time" to be "homeless," albeit he may sometimes have suspected that the words "home" and "house" were not strictly synonymous.
