"They'd make first-rate 'copy, wouldn't they?"

Then the boat 'ud have to come ashore for you next night; and the schooner 'ud have to be kept well in the offing during the daytime." "Should I be able to obtain a good, uninterrupted view of the harbour from the point you name?" I demanded. "First-rate, sir; couldn't be better," answered Hoard.
"Celia can do any thing!" and Thorny gave an all-embracing wave of the hand, which forcibly expressed his firm belief in his sister's boundless powers. "I made some poetry once.

He promised to call me at eight o'clock, but I expect he and Boyle, or Tollemache, conspired to let me sleep on.
"But you ought to be here and look across the woods some morning just at sun-up. Why, the sky is all yaller and red, and them low lands topped with fog!

The Strand's no use, Mr Burge.
"Stop a minute; here's a first-rate tom-cod; let me put him on;" and he took the string and added the fish to his gift. "I never shall forget you, Tommy; I shall only borrow the two cents; I will pay you again some time," said she, in a low tone, so that Johnny could not hear her. "Never mind 'em, Katy. Don't go hungry again for a minute. Come to me, and I'll help you to something or other."
