"Did you think so, Natty?" said Samson, good-temperedly. "Yes." "That shows what I say 's right. You always was such a muddlehead that you couldn't tell good from bad, and you don't know any better now. Poor old Nat, I don't bear you any malice or hatred in my heart. I'm sorry for you." Nat ground his teeth gently, for his brother's easy-going way angered him. "Sorry for me?" he said.
"Here, bumpkin," he cried, "you're to look sharp and put on your best things. It's not my doing, I can tell you, but the pater says you're to come in to dinner." "Who's coming?" said Tom. "What's that to you? Pretty cheeky that. I suppose you ought to have been asked whether we might have company." "Oh, no," said Tom, good-temperedly; "I only wanted to know." "Did you?
Then for about a minute we had a combined wrestle and fight about the cabin, with the result that I, being dressed and in better condition, got him down and sat upon his chest, panting heavily, to get my breath, while I could feel the saddle upon which I sat move sharply up and down.

It wouldn't do, you see, for a man to go about declaring that he had an uncle who was miles ahead of everybody else's uncle, or an aunt who could give a start to any other aunt in the world."

A man not only scorned to marry a woman of family less illustrious than his own, but even to make love to her "the pedigree is much more considered by them than either the complexion or features of their mistresses.
Sangster answered good-temperedly that he didn't want anything in particular; privately he agreed with Costin that it was more than an ordinary chill that had drawn Jimmy's face and made such hollows beneath his eyes.

"You needn't be afraid, ma'am, that she's anything like me," he assured her quite good-temperedly; "nobody ever believes she's my daughter, except me and the old woman. She's a little lady, she is. Freak o' nature, I call it." "We shall be delighted," explained my mother. "Well, you will when you see 'er," replied Mr. Hasluck, quite contentedly.
That's my whim! but you're a neat little chap enough, and I dare say you can hold your own!"
