"God send, Griffin, that Clinch find the admiral, and get back in time!"
Now, to clinch my theory, there should be a sudden variation this week, or at latest next week, and I have to watch every night not to let it pass. You see my reason for declining, Lady Constantine. 'Young men are always so selfish! she said. 'It might ruin the whole of my year's labour if I leave now! returned the youth, greatly hurt. 'Could you not wait a fortnight longer? 'No, no.
Well, I take greatly after my mother," said Ralph. "I don't believe you do at all. You wish people to like you, and you try to make them do it." "Good heavens, how you see through one!" he cried with a dismay that was not altogether jocular. "But I like you all the same," his cousin went on.

Rube nodded patronizingly, but he seemed a little uncomfortable under his wife's stare of amazement. "But," he added, in a tone meant to clinch the argument, "she ain't 'Rosebud' no longer." "Rubbish an' stuff! She's 'Rosebud' jest 'Rosebud. An' 'dearest Rosebud' at that, an' so I've got it," Ma said, hurriedly writing the words as she spoke.
The hand which never before had held so much money, now learned to clinch itself in hatred against the owner of property, the company promoter; against all in fact who were not of the proletariat. The Social Democrat had sprung up ten years before from the circle of the intelligent political economists and philosophers of the artisan classes.
She only knew that she was grateful for the presence of the strangers, which for the moment postponed a matrimonial confidence from which she shrank.
