But I only wish that if you ever SHOULD like anybody, you may never doubt of my feeling how I've brought you to it. You'll always know that I know that it's my fault."

"Well, that's handsome."
"They wouldn't take in another from anybody else but I can do it right away. The sooner the better. Go and look at the room to-day, move tomorrow and start teaching from the next day. That'll be all nice and settled." He seemed satisfied by arranging all by himself. Indeed, I should not be able to occupy such a room for long.

I don't want to wrong anybody, so I won't go so far as to say that she actually wrote poetry, but her conversation, to my mind, was of a nature calculated to excite the liveliest suspicions.
"Third of a day's work and a whole day's pay," he mused. "Jowett," he added, "I want you to have faith. I'm going to do Marchand, and I'm going to do him in a way that'll be best in the end. You can help as much if not more than anybody you and Osterhaut. And if I succeed, it'll be worth your while." "I ain't followin' you because it's worth while, but because I want to, Chief."
"Well, you see me don't you?" "I do, sir." "Have you been talking to Sykes and his wife?" asked the captain, sternly. "I have, sir." "Have you told them that you saw me on the island?" "No, sir; not them, nor anybody else." "It's well for you that you haven't," added the captain, shaking his head a significant gesture, which seemed to relate to the future, rather than to the present.
Abbie's a good woman none better but she generally don't notice a joke until she trips over it. I get consider'ble fun out of Abbie, take her by the large. 'New York! she says.
