Both rooms were heated by means of the good old blazing coal fire so dear to a Briton's heart; and they were ventilated with all due regard to the latest state of knowledge on the subject among architects and builders. In fact, no pains had been spared to make these rooms comfortable in the highest acceptation of the word.
The hour had come when this resistant something should be ours, ours, the Briton's, the Frenchman's, the Russian's, the Italian's, the Serb's, the Rumanian's, the Montenegrin's, the Dane's, the Mongol's! At midnight we moved, in silence. It seemed as if we heard from the Carpathians to the Rhine, from the sea to the Alps, the anthem of arms, the stir of destruction go up as we moved.
This is possible in Britain only in London, for the celebrities and their works are centred here. An unusually large proportion of the population is of the wealthy classes, for the height of the average Briton's ambition is, in addition to the essential estate in the country, to be in possession of a mansion in London.
He laughed, suggested exercise, the Briton's panacea for all ills, and took me for a walk. I viewed our pursuit of Captain Vauvenarde in its right aspect that of a veritable Snark-Hunt of which I was the Bellman and the name "Lola" curled itself round my heart with the same grateful sensation of comfort as the warm China tea. After all, it was only as Lola that I thought of her.
'Here I rose I was rather excited and said that I hoped the reverend speaker was not deserting the sacred principle of compulsory temperance? Would the speaker allow people freedom to drink?

To catch smallpox was a Briton's birthright, but not to take a modest quencher.
As for you, Broomberg, hand over that knife you are fingering, and consider yourself under arrest." "I will not," shouted the fellow. "See!" He made a wild rush aft, holding the glittering blade high in air, and seized the professor by the neck. But help from an unexpected quarter was at hand, and next moment Broomberg was sprawling on his back with Briton's great paws on his chest.
Varney remembered this afterward, and that he himself, diverted by the accident from the trend of his argument, had launched out in a tirade against the government as they worked together, the young Briton's energy, industry, and persistence so at variance with the aspect of his tufted topknot of feathers on his auburn curls, and the big blue warrior's marks on his broad white chest.
A Briton's first impulse, I believe, is to guard the contents of his pockets; but a moment's reflection convinced me of the futility of differing with the one man who had it in his power to make me comfortable; and with whose help it was possible that I might eventually escape from the crater.
Wherever the Briton plants his abiding-place, there the horse and dog are brought but in Hong Kong the former requires a deal of attention, for it is only used in making a Briton's holiday. The race-course is set in an intervale, and has cemeteries overlooking grand-stand and entrances.
Many photographs of the sun also were taken during the hours when Vulcan, if he exists at all, might be expected to cross the sun's face. Nevertheless, I would not be understood to mean by the word 'fiction' aught savouring of fraud so far as Lescarbault is concerned I prefer the North Briton's view of Lescarbault's spot, that so to speak, it was
