"Look here," said he; "you keep up a good heart, and get as many V G's as you can. Then you'll get out on ticket-of-leave in fifteen years: it ain't as if you were a lifer." He meant it for consolation; but this unvarnished statement of the very best that could by possibility befall poor Richard seemed only to deepen his despondency.
I should have been very undeserving of that character for observation which I flatter myself I peculiarly deserve, if I had not during the three hours I stayed at Madame D g's, conned over every person remarkable for any thing, from rank to a ribbon. The duchesse herself was a fair, pretty, clever woman, with manners rather English than French.
Until dinner time he played billiards atrociously at his club; at dinner his mother sharply reproved him for flagrant inattentions; after dinner he smoked and wondered despondently. To-morrow she was to sail! If he could but see her once more! At 7:30 his mother found him in the library, searching diligently through the volume of the encyclopedia that contained the G's.
Newbolt, her parlor, her ponderosity, and her missing g's, exhausted his vocabulary of opprobrious adjectives; but Eleanor was silent, just putting up a furtive handkerchief to wipe her eyes. It was dark, and he drew her hand through his arm and patted it. "Don't worry, Star. Uncle Henry is white! She can write to him all she wants to!
More to please her than from a desire to eat, he forced down a few mouthfuls of it, and drank a little tea; then, laying his arm round her neck, he said, "Em, you must try hard to learn to write soon, so that I may hear from you at least once a week."

"Now look, I'll raise the fifty G's by the end of the week." Feisel lifted a thin black eyebrow and shrugged elaborately. "Just inquiring, my friend, just inquiring. You know just showing friendly interest." "Well, go peddle your papers to somebody else. You make me nervous." Feisel sniffed with injured pride. "That's gratitude for you. And just when I was going to put a little bee in your bonnet.
There followed a violent crashing on the stairs, shaking the house. "Garnet! Where are you, laddie? Garnet!! GARNET!!!!!" Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge was in my midst.

I let the poor brutes out into the run.
There she found herself, with a group of three or four companions, facing the open plain. Instinctively she sought shelter. I felt Little G's muscles tighten beneath me. The moment for action had come. Before the cow had a chance to dodge among her companions the pony was upon her like a thunderbolt. She broke in alarm, trying desperately to avoid the rush.
Miss Callis had begun to look embarrassed by my hand, but I still permitted it to nestle confidingly in hers. "He pronounces all his g's," I said, "and did you ever see him in a silk hat?"
