John, I feel I'm doin' some good in the world. If I keep on, it'll be a temptation to die just to read the epigraphs my friends'll write of me. But I ain't goin' to die fer a while; I'm goin' to set right down and go over them invitations we sent for the people who's comin' next week for my birthday. Dr.
The S.S. What of it? There won't be no lineal descendants when we git hour way, 'cause there won't be nothing to descend to nobody. The honly suv'rin we mean to 'ave is the People the Democrisy. But there, you're young, me and my friends'll soon tork you over to hour way o' thinking. I dessay we ain't fur apart, as it is. I got yer address, and we'll drop in on yer some night never fear.
"Well," said Tom, getting up in something as like a huff as he was capable of, "it's deuced hard that when a fellow's really trying to do what he ought, his best friends'll do nothing but chaff him and try to put him down." And he stuck his books under his arm and his hat on his head, preparatory to rushing out into the quadrangle, to testify with his own soul of the faithlessness of friendships.
I like a man to be what he is out and out. If he's ashamed of himself it won't be long before his friends'll be ashamed of him. There's the trouble with this town. Many a fellow is pretending to be what he isn't. A man cannot be strong unless he is genuine. One of his children a little girl came and stood close to him as he spoke.
"Jist help yourself, an' your friends'll like you the better, as the sayin' is," said Cooper, handing him a pannikin. "Thanks. "Been having a little mishap?" "Yes; nothing broke, though." "How long since my lads passed? I see their tracks on the road." "About three hours," replied Thompson. "Did you meet an old man and a young fellow, with wool-grey horse behind one of the wagons? Good day, Mr.
"Our friends'll lose five minutes penetrating that," he announced gleefully. It did not occur to him until later that every one of those woolly ewes was an unknowing servant of Hugo van Diest and that their presence in the road was the direct result of a wire dispatched to a quiet little man named Phillips who had been given the task of making the way into London difficult.

He glanced round, and when he saw me, looked as if I were a policeman who had caught him in the act. "Howdy, Sam?" said I. "It's been so long since I've seen you that I couldn't resist the temptation to interrupt. Hope your friends'll excuse me. Howdy do, Miss Ellersly?" And I put out my hand. She took it reluctantly.
"You're a sure fierce hustler just eat it up. Me I've only ten an' a half, an' for a hard week... See you on the nine-forty. Sure now. We can just fool around until the dancin' begins. A lot of my gentlemen friends'll be there in the afternoon." Two blocks from the laundry, where an arc-light showed a gang of toughs on the corner, Saxon quickened her pace.
"It may belong t' me, an' then again, it maybe don't. It ain' gunna git me in no trouble; I'll luk out f'r that. YOUR side's where the trouble is; that's what's eatin' into you. An' I'll tell you flat-foot, your gittin' rough 'ith me and playin' Charley the Show-Off in front o' yer lady- friends'll all go down in the bill.
I've been hunting you for almost three years.... Sit down, I said." "I won't!" cried Jinnie, recklessly. "I won't! You can't keep me here. My friends'll find me." The man hazarded a laugh. "What friends?" he queried. Jinnie thought quickly. What friends?
