Feeling to our enemies. Fidelity to our friends. The three F's: Fat, fair, and forty. The three generals in peace: General peace. General plenty. General satisfaction. The three generals in power: General employment. General industry. General comfort. The three H's: Health, honour, and happiness. Health to all the world. Honour to those who seek for it. Happiness in our homes.
How you found out my name confuses me. "Indeed!" murmured the lady. Doubtless you have the club list in your house. Do you know, when the letter was brought me, I saw nothing unusual about the address. It was only when I began this letter that I comprehended how clever you were. There are half a dozen J.H's at the club. I tell you truthfully, over my own name, that your voice startled me.
Bobby's dialect in reporting my various interviews with her, for the spelling of it is quite beyond my powers. Pray remove all the h's wherever they occur, and insert them where they do not; but there will be, over and beyond this, an intonation quite impossible to render. Mrs. Bobby bought her place only a few months ago, for she lived in Cheltenham before Mr. Bobby died.
"I am almost a scullery maid, and if I am a scullery maid who knows nothing, I shall be like poor Becky. I wonder if I could QUITE forget and begin to drop my H'S and not remember that Henry the Eighth had six wives." One of the most curious things in her new existence was her changed position among the pupils.
We used, as good Episcopalians, to go every Sunday to the little English Church on the rue des Palmiers. Alas, I can remember only one thing about those services. The clergyman had a peculiar impediment in his speech which made him say his h's and s's, both as sh. Thus he always said shuman for human, and invariably prayed that God might be pleased to "shave the Queen."
Flesh-and-blood books that write themselves are so compelling and absorbing that one often wonders at the existence of any other kind, and, feeling this strongly, yet I turn to paper pages as silent confidants. Why? Heredity and its understudy, Habit, the two h's that control both the making of solitary tartlets as well as family pies.
Betty looked puzzled for a moment, and then said, "Wasn't it supposed that only people who had been born within the sound of the bells of old Bow Church could be real Cockneys?" "That's right, Betty; your history is good," said Mrs. Pitt, who had just entered; "but John, I must tell you that dropping h's is not necessarily Cockney.
It's a wonder to hear Miss Latimer speak without dropping her h's, or otherwise murdering the Queen's English, ha, ha!" and Miss Irvine shrugged her elegant shoulders scornfully.
I will therefore go to Paris, secure the command of the army of England, and pay a few of my respects to George Third, Esq. I hear a great many English drop their h's; I'll see if I can't make 'em drop their l. s. d.'s as well." Arrived in Paris, Bonaparte was much courted by everybody. "I have arrived," he said, with a grim smile.
"Nothing; only master and missis talk such very bad grammar, and don't pronounce their H's." A Soldier's Wife. The late Duchess of York having desired her housekeeper to seek out for a new laundress, a decent-looking woman was recommended to the situation. "What is that you say, said the duke, who had just entered the room. A soldier's wife! Pray, madam, what is your mistress?
