"It gave me much pleasure to learn that you were rebuilding and er renovating the er the ancestral er " "The old home nest? Yup, I'm puttin' back a few feathers. Old birds like to roost comf'table.

We're old enough to decide some things for ourselves, I should think." "Yes. Sartin. That's right. But I didn't know but p'raps some of your friends might have helped along. This Mrs. Dunn now, she kind of hinted to me that she'd well, done what she could to make you comf'table." "She has," avowed Caroline, warmly.

"Mis' West, you'd be more comf'table in the armchair. I fight shy of it because it's too comf'table. If I set back into the hollow, it's because my work's done for the day. And here's a palm-leaf.

The visitor was striding across the passage to the bedroom, also on the ground-floor, when the landlady issued therefrom; and the landlady was in tears. "I have kep' these apartments respectable and comf'table, and not a week unlet, these seventeen year, come Michaelmas," she sobbed.

I don't like to be waked up either early or late in the night. Tain't good fur the health. Makes a feller grow old afore his time."
The Adventures of Don Lavington by George Manville Fenn "I wish our old ship was here, and I was at one of the guns to help give these beggars a broadside." "It is very, very horrible, Jem." "Ten times as horrid as that, Mas' Don. Here was we all as quiet and comf'table as could be taking our warm baths. I say, shouldn't I like one now! I'm that stiff and sore I can hardly move."
