"Now, now, no more of that!" she warned. "When I have cause to knock, you won't need no ear-trumpet. Put up your hoof." He obeyed, and, stooping swiftly, she began to unlace the shoe which he could no longer reach. Her manner was that of a daughter who tyrannizes over an indulgent father.
There—now you won’t take cold, Aunt Mary." The cap, with its fore-piece, was the crowning glory of Aunt Mary’s get-up. The brain measurements of him who had bought the cap being to its present wearer’s as five is to three, the effect of its proportions, in addition to the goggles and the ear-trumpet, was such as to have overawed a survivor of Medusa’s stare.

"I think I shall die before that comes say at forty-five. I couldn't live with wrinkles all over my face. No, Robin, I couldn't. And look at Mrs. Ulford! perhaps an ear-trumpet set with opals." "What do the wrinkles matter?
