"And who is that?" simpers Lady Kirke, languishing behind her fan. "Who, indeed, but the little maid we sent from the north sea."
"There we join issue, sir," cried Pedgift Senior. I say, she is in all probability waiting her messenger's return, in or near your grounds at this moment. I say, she will try to force her way in here, before four-and-twenty hours more are over your head. Egad, sir!" cried Mr. Pedgift, looking at his watch, "it's only seven o'clock now.

He then informed me that he was the solicitor and agent of the Honourable Miss Delmar, and had been sent for about some new leases, and that his name was Warden.
"Sir," she said, "I am Sir Roland Brooke's wife. And I " "Egad!" he broke in banteringly, "that was yesterday. You are free to-day. I have brought you out of bondage.

I belong to him.
"I found it on a bramble-bush in a wood," said Barnabas. "In a wood!" "In Annersley Wood; I found a lady there also." "A lady oh, egad!"

This, then, was the populace, the innumerable living negation of gentility and Forsyteism. This was egad! Democracy! It stank, yelled, was hideous! In the East End, or even Soho, perhaps but here in Regent Street, in Piccadilly!
"I'll do it to-morrow, if you wish," said Tom Walker. "You shall lend money at two per cent. a month." "Egad, I'll charge four!" replied Tom Walker. "You shall extort bonds, foreclose mortgages, drive the merchants to bankruptcy " "I'll drive them to the devil," cried Tom Walker. "You are the usurer for my money!" said black-legs with delight.
