De Tocqueville is universally regarded among us as the only foreigner who ever divined the theoretical and the practical method of our institutions.

"No it's that that bothers me. If I had seen him do it I would have gone straight and told Dechamp, but I didn't quite see him, you see. I was in Lamartine's cart at the time, rummagin' about for a piece o' wood to make this very bow, an' the moment I heard the shot I peeped out, an' saw nothing!"

In the first place, Pearlie is fat. Not plump, or rounded, or dimpled, or deliciously curved, but FAT. She bulges in all the wrong places, including her chin.

"You are quite right, Mr. Rosedale. I HAVE had bothers; and I am grateful to you for wanting to relieve me of them.
"I am sure it's no fault of mine," said Daniel, moved from his high ropes by this last appeal; "to me it never matters twopence what I have for dinner, and you saw me give Tim all the brown of the baked potatoes the very last time I had my dinner here. But what comes above all those little bothers is the necessity for insisting upon freedom of opinion.
It isn't easy at first. No, by jingo I beg your pardon I was about to say, my own respectability rather bothers me; I shall get used to it in time. If you will allow me, I'll take a liberty.

'As right as can be, Rube said in his ordinary cheerful tone; 'except that I feel as if a fellow was sawing away at my ankles and wrists with a blunt knife. 'That's about the state of my wrists, I said. 'I don't mind my wrists so much, he said; 'it's my feet bothers me. I shall be such a time before I can walk.
