Don't I bring you eight-and-twenty dancing men? all at once if you wish it, in a body, like soldiers." "Nonsense, my dear," interrupted Aunt Agatha. "The staircase will be crowded enough as it is."

Had Liberty been mother to this old gentleman, and had he met her in a clump of woods, he would have strangled her. We regret to add that he had the habit of terming "old duffers" such ministers as he suspected of liberal views, and especially such as were in favor of popular education.
"Na, na, naething o' the kind," interposed one of the caddies. "They're just twa duffers like yersels!" And great eminence in other fields counts for nothing with the caddie if his man cannot golf in good style. There is the story told by Mr.
They seem to want you. You're miles away over the heads of the average solemn duffers who get office." I bowed acknowledgment of his tribute. "Well, you will buck up and try for it, won't you? I'm awfully proud of you already, but I should go off my head with joy if you were in the Ministry." I met his honest young eyes as well as I could.

He says he was in a great fright all the time he was lying in the cage, and that it was an immense relief to him when he heard your rifles go off, and found that he wasn't hit." "That is too bad of him, Miss Hannay," Wilson laughed; "we were not such duffers as all that. I don't believe he really did think so." "I am sure he was in earnest, Mr. Wilson.
And the job was put up by the old duffers; Stetson was only let in to clear the old chaps when the truth should be known. And then Stetson wants to marry my Rose.
