I knew no more what I was coming to than a babe, and once you're here, you stays here." "Well, never mind for the present, my man. Why, you're a regular lawyer, you rascal; I shall have to mind my p's and q's with you. Now don't talk any more, or you'll fidget, and that won't do your back any good. Will you have bread and milk, or beef-tea and toast, you luxurious person?
And now, as he was tenderly wiping a suspicion of beef-tea off it, he wondered, as he looked round his study, where he could put it. Not among the old Oriental china, where bits of Wedgwood had already elbowed in for want of room elsewhere. Among his Lowestoft cups and saucers? Never! He would rather not have it than see it there.

She poured a little into a cracked tea-cup, and when the child moaned again and this moan was even fainter than the last went up to the bed, determined to act the part of the absent mother, who was so shamefully neglecting her sick child.
"Oh, here, let it go quick!" she added "and not because mother's coming, either," she added as the door opened and her mother came out not to spy, not to reproach her daughter for sitting with a man in the moonlight at ten o'clock at night, but good, practical soul to bring them each a cup of beef-tea.

"It seems to me, Janet, if I could have some of these foods and drugs they advertise so much I might get some strength to bear it," he said.
