The prospect was agreeable, but he foresaw that it would be put forward as an excuse for fixing the sum of marriage settlements as low as possible. It would, however, be difficult for Brookes to settle less on his daughter than he, Berkins, was willing to settle on his wife; so partly in the hopes of forcing Mr.
The most powerful personality in the tennis world during my time is Norman E. Brookes, with his peculiar sphinx-like repression, mysterious, quiet, and ominous calm. Brookes repels many by his peculiar personality. He never was the popular hero that other men, notably M'Loughlin and Wilding, have been.
Upon one occasion, some gentlemen of both White's and Brookes' had the honour to dine with the Prince Regent, and during the conversation, the Prince inquired what sort of dinners they got at their clubs; upon which, Sir Thomas Stepney, one of the guests, observed that their dinners were always the same, "the eternal joints, or beefsteaks, the boiled fowl with oyster sauce, and an apple tart this is what we have, sir, at our clubs, and very monotonous fare it is."
"Nobody sells things out of this shop without my knowledge." The Irishman was puzzled he looked round the shop. "Well, then, if this a'n't the shop, it was own sister to it." "Timothy," called Mr Brookes.
Mr Brookes, pleased with my continual inquiries, gave me all the information I could desire, and thus I gained, not only a great deal of information, but also a great deal of credit with Mr Cophagus, to whom Mr Brookes had made known my diligence and thirst for knowledge. "Good very good," said Mr Cophagus; "fine boy learns his business M.D. one of these days ride in his coach um, and so on."
"No side" is called, and the first day of the School-house match is over. "Some food we had." Id.

"I expect the others will find their way here in a few minutes," he said, as the door closed behind Brookes and his satellite. "You had something to say to me, Chalmers, about Mr. Jesson here." "All that I have to say is in the nature of a testimonial," the young American replied. "Jesson was easily one of our best men in Europe.
"Miss Brookes," the servant said, "is in her room and cannot see you, sir." "She will never be mine, she will never be mine," he muttered as he passed into the town. "But why do I think she'll never be mine?"
Do you know what you are asking?" "Yes, Doctor, I know. But I have just seen Helen Brookes. She is perfectly amazing, perfectly fine in her courage and all that, and she told me about Scuddy's death without a tear. But, Doctor, there was a point at which she broke all up. Do you know when? When she told me of her chief regret, and that was that she and Scuddy had not been married.
It was part of Rosamond's cleverness to discern very subtly the faintest aroma of rank, and once when she had seen the Miss Brookes accompanying their uncle at the county assizes, and seated among the aristocracy, she had envied them, notwithstanding their plain dress.
