Crawfurd sounded the lamentation, and dwelt on its salient points, and ingeniously extracted new grounds of regret, till, by dint of repetition, in ten minutes more Mr. Crawfurd and Joanna were almost persuaded that Susan had sustained a serious loss.

As a rule they care for no newspapers except the Sunday ones; what they want is the lightest and frothiest of chit-chatty information bits of stories, bits of description, bits of scandal, bits of jokes, bits of statistics, bits of foolery.

Of all the rooms in the great castle Etta liked the morning-room best. Persons of a troubled mind usually love to look upon a wide prospect.
Like we was doing for foolery yestiday. That was what put it into my 'ead. Easy make up a programme easy. Six choice items, and one or two for encores and patter. I'm all right for the patter anyhow."
