"Oh! so it was; but I sent no telegrams on the 11th." Penelope. "Wasn't that the day you wired Mr. Drayton that you couldn't go to the Zoo?" Francesca. "Oh yes, so I did: and to Mr. Godolphin that I could. I remember now; but that's only two." Salemina. "How about the hairdresser whom you stopped coming from Kensington?" Francesca.
I am sorry to have had to put your friend in his place; but I find that here as elsewhere it is necessary to assert myself if I am to be treated with proper consideration. I had hoped that my position as a guest would protect me from insult. ZOO. Putting my friend in his place. That is some poetic expression, is it not? What does it mean?
I am at the mercy of a madwoman: I might have known it from the beginning. ZOO. It would be useless unless all the other shortlivers were killed at the same time. Besides, it is a measure which should be taken politically and constitutionally, not privately. However, I am prepared to discuss it with you. ZOO. What good have our counsels ever done you?
The sun was very hot, and she thought she ought to go home to poor Milly. Captain March, however, was certain that what I ought to do was to see his tent before deserting camp.

Your services to the paper have been greatly appreciated. If I might drop in some afternoon and inspect the remainder of your zoo ?" "Any time you're down Groome Street way. Glad."

They say they have run away from the boy who kept them because they didn't get the right stuff to eat. They want to know if you will take them in." "All right," said the Doctor. "Show them the way to the zoo. Give them the house on the left, near the gate the one the black fox had.
"I've got nothing to go in." "Rubbish!" said her husband, starting uneasily. "It's a fact," said Mrs. Teak. "I should like to go, too it's years since I was at the Zoo.

She told herself that Ithaca was too cold but Sapporo had been colder yet.
