"All of you together, talking of it, thinking of it, might, much more easily than each of you singly.
"You are very complimentary to my sex." "But," said Harry frankly; "I should want to choose my doctor; an ugly woman would ruin me, the disease would be sure to strike in and kill me at sight of her. I think a pretty physician, with engaging manners, would coax a fellow to live through almost anything." "I am afraid you are a scoffer, Mr. Brierly." "On the contrary, I am quite sincere.

"Leastways you'll be goin' off, some day an' leavin' us me, the mountings an' an' all yer friends up here." An expression of great earnestness, of almost fierce intensity grew in his face.

At a certain green age young gentlemen are sometimes afraid of being called milksops, and Philip's associates had not always been the most select, such as these historians would have chosen for him, or whom at a later, period he would have chosen for himself.

Brierly said these words with a most unusual animation, and made as if to reach after his pocket-book. I restrained him, and declared coldly that the cowardice of these four men did not seem to me a matter of such great importance. "And you call yourself a seaman, I suppose," he pronounced angrily. I said that's what I called myself, and I hoped I was too.
He came racing around the side of the house in a short time. "You're right, Professor; it's just like you said.
