'Well, said Jasmine, 'I do not see how we are to keep it from her; but you have certainly won her in a most remarkable way.

I can make no further promises, being chock-full of mischief as an egg is full of meat. 'Well, I 'll allow it to remain as it is at present.
We know all about horse here, an' he ain't any high-toned, pure souled child o' nature.
