Gentlemen were just then beginning to drive their own coaches; and I remember, in a particular instance, an ultra in the new mode had actually put his coachman in the inside, while he occupied the dickey in person. Such a gross violation of the proprieties was unusual, even in London; but there sat Jehu, in all the dignity of cotton-lace, plush, and a cocked hat.
I shall depend on you, Phil, to be nice to him in New York. You can do so much to make it pleasant for him. He has never been in New York, you know." "It may depend on what he will consider pleasant. I don't believe he will enjoy all the things I like. But I'll try. I'll get Dickey Savage to give a dinner for him, and if he can survive that, he's capable of having a good time anywhere.
"Of course we are," said Paul, decidedly; "we're all going to sit down to the table with father, and have just as good a dinner as we can get." Dickey had nothing more to say; he was overwhelmed with the idea of acting like "reg'lar folks," and after that nothing could have astonished him. Mr.
"To-night at eight," he repeated to himself over and over, like the refrain of a popular ballad, invariably concluding, by way of chorus: "Oh, I'll be there; oh, I'll be there." Therefore, as soon as his day's duties were over, Dennis speeded to Baxter Street in search of Dickey Series C.
Colonel Dickey, of the Fourth Illinois Cavalry, asking for reenforcements, I ordered General Wood to advance the head of his column cautiously on the left-hand road, while I conducted the head of the third brigade of my division up the right-hand road.
"Well, how can he fix it any other way?" asked Dickey, in considerable surprise, not understanding what Ben was trying to get at. "I'll tell you how we can. We can all turn to, Mother Green an' all, an' give him the whole of the money. Then he won't have to git only a little over two dollars to fix him right, an' I reckon me an' Johnny can fix him out on that."

The Misses Farquhar made particular pets of Fred and Sophy, to whom they undertook to give lessons twice a-week in writing and geography; and Mrs. Farquhar devised many treats for the little ones.
Cass Dinwoodie were high up on the wet hills, gathering cream-colored wild iris for the Dickey wedding that night. "And serve her right, too!" said Mrs. Dinwoodie, severely. "A great girl like that lettin' fly like a child." "She's she's jest the kind to go crazy, brooding as she does," Mrs. Larabee submitted, almost timidly.
"You broke up the show all right enough," exclaimed the millionaire, excitedly. "The fairies ran over each other trying to get out of the room. You're as game as a fighting cock, too." "Let me alone, Phil!" panted Dickey. "You don't suppose I'm going to run from that big duffer, do you? Let go!" "Don't be a fool, Dickey," said his friend, earnestly.
Gray and Chandler were leading members of the Opposition, so that the arrangement had the assent of the leaders of both political parties and was in no sense a party movement.
