"We ought to stay here another day, if you young gen'lemen don't object." "Oh, goody!" cried Keith. "Then we can bring Ginger down to see the bear perform."

I run to the window and emit the word or exclamation, which-ever it may be viz, 'Whoa! Then I rush down-stairs and down the street, returning in a few minutes. 'Dang them mules, I says; 'they done run away and busted the doubletree and two traces. Now I got to hoof it home, for I never brought no money along. Reckon we'll talk about that loan some other time, gen'lemen.
There you are, sir; might shave in 'em!" "How much to pay?" "Vell, gen'lemen usually gives me a penny, but that's in or'nary cases. Ven I has to shine boots like a pair o' ships' boats I looks for suthin' hextra though I don't always get it!" "There you are, my lad," said the captain, giving the boy something "hextra," which appeared to satisfy him.
"Come on, then, gen'lemen. You'll get a bit wet, but there's a long climb arterwards up the hot rocks in the sunshine, and you'll be 'most dry 'fore you get home." "Oh, never mind the water," cried the middy. "My uniform's spoilt. I'm ready to do anything to get out of here." "Will you go first, sir?" cried Tom Bodger. "No, you found the way in," was the reply, "so lead the way out." "Right, sir.
'Sieur Grandissime, 'tis me-e-e w'ad know 'ow dad is bad, ha, ha, ha! Oh! I assu' you, gen'lemen, id is hawful!" And so on. By and by Honoré seemed urging them to do something, the thought of which made them laugh, yet was entertained as not entirely absurd.
I got all mixed up but before God, gen'lemen, I didn't do it." His tone was strong with sincerity, and his expression was rather that of grief than remorse. Harley, who had had a long experience with all kinds of men in all kinds of situations, did not believe that he was either bad or guilty. Hobart spoke his thoughts aloud. "I don't think you did it," he said.
"Why, Samson, who did you take it to?" "To that gen'leman who was here the other night." "Captain Miles?" "Yes. At Barnstaple, and some more gen'lemen was with him when I got there, and he read the letter, and they read the letter, and then they said they'd write another, and I was to go down and have some bread and cheese and cider, and I did a lot."
Quambo!" he shouted, "let's have some supper on table as soon as possible." "Him dare 'ready, captain," answered the black steward, "only wait de young gen'lemen to cut him." The captain, leaving the deck in charge of the first mate, descended with us, and did ample justice to the plentiful meal Quambo had spread on the table. The captain, before going on deck again, advised us to turn in.

"You do not know the hardships of a soldier's life, my good fellow," said Sir Godfrey, as he patted the neck of the noble-looking, dark-dappled grey in one of the stalls. Nat laughed.
"Yo ho! to him, Messenger; hark to him Maybird; good bitch, Merrylass. He's down here, gen'lemen, and he'll never get away alive. He came to a bad place when he looked out for going to ground anywhere near Mr. Owen." And then there came, fast trotting down through the other horsemen, making his way eagerly to the front, a stout heavy man, with a florid handsome face and eager eye.
