"How different from the humdrum existence of us stay-at-homes! How I should like to hear some of your adventures. They must be thrilling." "If you want to hear a real thrilling adventure, Miss Finch, you should get Mr. Musard to tell you how he came by that ruby he is wearing," said Phil Heredith, joining in the conversation.
First, I think I want a poached egg then, I think I want a red herring now I don't know what I want. Upon my word of honor as a clergyman and a gentleman, I don't know what I want! Morbid appetite all day; morbid wakefulness all night what a condition! I can't rest. I disturb my wife at night. Mrs. Finch! I disturb you at night.
Endeavor to oppose yourself resolutely to any scheme, on the part of my unhappy daughter or of those who advise her, which involves more expenditure of money in fees, and new appearances of professional persons. Mrs. Finch! the temperature is to be ninety-eight, and the position partially recumbent. Oscar! You are free to say 'I oppose This, with Mr.
"Brown's a very nice colour," ses Mrs. Finch, wondering wot was the matter with old Sam. "Blue," ses Ginger; "big blue eyes they're the ones for me. Other people may 'ave their blacks and their browns," he ses, looking at Sam and Peter Russet, "but give me blue."

They seem to have kept up little connection with the Court or with London.
"No, you need not worry about that," said the Doctor, "and you must wait a bit yet, for the Rose-breast does not come until nearly the end of his family." "There must be a great many different-looking birds in this Finch family," said Rap, "if plain Sparrows and yellow Goldfinches both belong to it." "Indeed there are!
We see them, Falkenberg and I, as we go to our work; the yearling birds, that have not yet learned fear of the world, hop along the path before our feet. Then we meet the finch, the sparrow of the timbered lands. He has been out in the woods already, and is coming back now to humankind, that he likes to live with and study from all sides. Queer little finch.
Mr. and Mrs. Finch; Mr. Nugent Dubourg; Oscar, and myself." "I wish there were five hundred of you, instead of five?" she burst out. "Why?" "Because you would see me pick out Oscar from all the rest, the instant the bandage was off my eyes!" Still holding to her own fatal conviction that the image in her mind of Oscar was the right one!
They all stayed on till closing time, and by the time they left they 'ad made theirselves so pleasant that Mrs. Finch said she'd be pleased to see them any time they liked to look in. Sam Small waited till they 'ad turned the corner, and then he broke out so alarming that they could 'ardly do anything with 'im.
