"The place seems suggestive of fancies to you?" we observed in reply to the rattlepate.

Heathcock, who came in last, astonished out of his constant 'Eh! re'lly now! the moment he put himself in at the door, exclaimed, 'Zounds! what's all this live lumber? and he stumbled over the goat, who was at that moment crossing the way.
He hesitated and was silent for a few moments, striding beside the General, and the General said nothing was waiting for him to continue. "Said that I was wrong," Alf repeated, "and I reckon I was, but I hope you won't say anything about it at home." "Why not at home, sir? Hah, why not at home?

"I understand that; but where and how? What end of the world will you take up first?"

And he sat down. "Ah!" said Mordaunt, with a sneer, "there's one who is afraid." "Zounds!" exclaimed D'Artagnan, bounding toward him, "who says that Athos is afraid?"
"Zounds! that is about the same as if it had been your own business that detained you!" And well pleased with this joke, he added, "Ah well! How are affairs progressing?" "On my side as well as could be desired." The marquis had resumed his seat in the chimney-corner, and was poking the fire with a haughty, but poorly assumed air of indifference. "I am listening," he said carelessly.
