"Do you think that I ought to try and go out with my nephew to-night?" she asked Janice. "If it was me, I should go," cried the maid. "I never was called slow before," Aunt Mary said, bridling. "I’ll thank you to remember your place, young woman." Janice explained. "Oh! I didn’t hear plainly," said Aunt Mary. "I don’t always. Well go or not go, I’ve got to sleep first.
Bridling and wagging her white head she admitted her pampered state. It was less an admission than a boast. Her son Hugo had spoiled her. This, too, she acknowledged. "My son Hugo spoils me," she would say, and there was no proper humbleness in her voice. Though he was her only son she never spoke of him merely as "Hugo," or "My son," but always as "My son Hugo."
They crossed a big grass field at a canter. Lollypop was young and raw as a calf, and Jim Silver rode well behind, giving him and his rider plenty of room. Before them was a low stake-and-bound with a drop on the far side. Lollypop flopped along toward it like a boat in a swell, flapping his long ears, bridling, and pondering whether he would have it or not. On the whole, he thought he would.
There was a kind of tremulous defiance in her tone, as if she half expected me to question it. "I've heard it before, I believe," said I stupidly for, in fact, I had scarcely yet got myself together.

Still that is what Britain is up against, and Britain can only secure an honourable victory by surpassing them.
The charge against them was not made the subject of public investigation; the judge and some other elderly gentleman talked it over together; and the girls, who had each wept in pleading guilty, were put on probation, as Lemuel understood it, and, weeping still and bridling a little, were left in charge of this elderly gentleman, and Lemuel saw them no more.
Lots! Don't you?" "Well, I don't know. There are some queer people." "Some. Just a few, I should think there were," said Norton. "Enough to keep one from going to sleep with sameness." "Well, but I don't find so many," said Esther. "Am I queer?" "Not a bit of it?" "You speak as if it was an honour to be queer," said the young lady, bridling her pretty head. "An honour?
