"Yes, two years ago I wrote to him." "What did you write?" "You must forgive me, Ernest, but I saw you growing up without an education, and I felt that you should have advantages which I could not give you. I wrote to your cousin asking if he would pay your expenses in a preparatory school and afterward at college." "What did he reply?" "Go to the trunk. You will find his letter there.
"John," said my hero, gasping for breath, "are you sure of what you say are you quite sure you really married her?" "Of course I am," said John, "I married her before the registrar at Letchbury on the 15th of August 1851.

M. Ernest Bozzano, one of the most learned, most daring and most subtle exponents of the new science that is in process of formation, in the course of a remarkable essay in the Annales des sciences psychiques, gives it as his opinion that they have remained stationary and unchanged.
A fellow who has learned to stand on the deck of a ship, rolling her guns in the water, and pitching bows under, and has had to furl top-gallant sails with a hurricane blowing in his teeth, can easily do anything of this sort, if he has the mind to do it.

These auctions are to me what a jeweller's shop is to a lover; but then, Ernest, I am an old bachelor." "And I, too, am an Arcadian," said Maltravers, with a smile. "Ah, but you are not too old for repentance. Burleigh now requires nothing but a mistress."
"Let us go back," he said, as he resumed his clasp of Ernest's hand. "Yes, we will go back. Have you ever been as far as this before?" "No." "Then we had better not say anything about it. Your papa might not like it." "All right, Ernest. Will you read to me when you go back?" "Yes, Frank."
