Dammy, they don't make gentlemen and ladies now; and in fifty years you'll hardly know one man from another. But they'll last my time.

Rubenstein to save me a box for the evenin' show." "I hear your father's come home," the friend insinuated. "Yes," Mrs. Egg drawled, "and ain't feelin' well and don't need comp'ny. Be obliged if you'd tell folks that. He's kind of sickly. So they've got Dammy in a picture. It's about time!" The tremor ran down her back. She said "Good-night, dearie," and rang off.
"Halloo!" he shouts, as he sees the fox break cover at that moment. "Halloo!" cries the clerk. "There he goes! Why, dammy, there's two foxes " "Hush, clerk, hush! Don't let me hear that word again! Remember our calling." "True, sir, true. But really, good sport do carry away a man so, that he's apt to forget his high persuasion!"
But, Eustacia, you never did ha! ha! Dammy, how 'twould have pleased me forty years ago! But remember, no more of it, my girl. You may walk on the heath night or day, as you choose, so that you don't bother me; but no figuring in breeches again." "You need have no fear for me, grandpapa."
"Unlawful, unworthy!" Pen bounced out at the curate's question. "She is as pure as she is beautiful; I would give my heart to no other woman.

But any man who breathes a word against her purity insults both her honour and mine, and and dammy, I won't stand it."
There's a great continent from the equator to the icebergs, and not a man in it who could correct an astigmatism. What do they know of modern eye-surgery and refraction? Why, dammy, they don't know much about it in the provinces of England yet, let alone Brazil.

"You got to teach Edie cookin'," he said. "She can't cook fit for a Cuban. Lots of time, though.
"Gad, it's a hard thine: to lose a fellow of that sort: but he must go," thought the major. "He has grown rich, and impudent since he has grown rich. He was horribly tipsy and abusive tonight. We must part, and I must go out of the lodgings. Dammy, I like the lodgings; I'm used to 'em. It's very unpleasant, at my time of life, to change my quarters." And so on, mused the old gentleman.
"Gad!" said Colonel Claus, bluntly, "I thought at first that Burgundy smacked somewhat of Boston tea." "The Burgundy's sound enough," said Colonel John Butler, grimly. "So is the toast," bawled Sir Lupus. "It's a pacific toast, a soothing sentiment, neither one thing not t'other. Dammy, it's a toast no Quaker need refuse." "Sir Lupus, your permission!" broke out Captain Campbell.
Who the devil put 'em up to captaining you eh? Was it that minx Dorothy? Dammy, I took it that the old Colonel had come to plague me from his grave your father, sir!
