And as he said so he made up his mind that he would, for that day, postpone the task of telling Mr Hall of his intended marriage. The evening passed by, and the time came for Mr Whittlestaff to drive Miss Lawrie back to Croker's Hall.

I have held him in admiration and affection so many years that I know by the number of those years that he is old now; but his heart isn't, nor his pen; and years do not count.

These old wooden ruins were, I fancy, the remains of some rude pier, and amid them, when the tide was low, we used to play, and to pay fancy visits to our fancy friend. We called her Shriny why, I know no more than when I first read Croker's delightful story of "The Soul Cages" I knew why the Merrow whom Jack went to see below the waves was called Coomara.
'The first Gentleman in Europe' was twenty-one years old when he treated men like Johnson and Reynolds with this insolence.
