"Besides, I expect it is up among the Druses, where one can't go." "Armie," in the tone of a great confession, "I've told Sydney all about it. Have you told Lord Fordham?" "No," said Armine, who was less exclusively devoted to the great romance. "I wonder whether he would read it?" "I've brought it. Nineteen copybooks and a dozen blank ones, though it was so hard to make Delrio pack them up."
The evidence still exists of how carefully Washington studied this book, in the form of copybooks, in which are transcribed problem after problem and rule after rule, not to exclude the famous Rules of civility, which biographers of Washington have asserted were written by the boy himself.
Babie was so perfectly good-humoured about the sacrifice of her pet passages, and even of her dozen copybooks, that the editor of the "Traveller's Joy" could not help encouraging the admission of "Jotapata" into the magazine, in spite of the remonstrances of the rest of his public, who declared it was merely making the numbers a great deal heavier for postage, and all for nothing.

He would go back and put the money in the drawer again, whenever she reached the kitchen. He stood there with his heart-beats filling his ears, waiting for the kitchen door to slam. Then he resolved he would wrap the money up in paper and put it safely away, and go down and see if Jessie knew. He found one of his old copybooks, and began tearing out a leaf. What a noise it made!

They had one book between them, and the pupil was reading from it. Papers, dictionaries, and copybooks strewed the table; it was evident that other pupils had been there before, but that they had abandoned the scene. Percival set his teeth, and the brightness went out of his eyes. If only the pupil had not been Elizabeth!
"Oh, thank you," she exclaimed. "So custom stales any variety they possess." "Not at all," he urged.
