“You should say by Hermes’s favour, but I would trust you Athenians to grow fat on successful villany and then bless the righteous gods.” “I hope you haven’t left Sparta just to revile me!” cried Democrates, leaping up, to be thrust back by Lycon’s giant paw. “Ai! mix a little honey with your speech, it costs nothing.
Haven’t I paid your head many a time when you came with your father’s bait, for you were always a sad hempy?” The author had the pleasure, in the year 1854, of accompanying Robert Stephenson on a visit to his old home and haunts at Killingworth.
“Perhaps I haven’t forgiven him, though,” she said, with a sort of menace in her voice, and she dropped her eyes to the ground as though she were talking to herself. “Perhaps my heart is only getting ready to forgive. I shall struggle with my heart. You see, Alyosha, I’ve grown to love my tears in these five years.... Perhaps I only love my resentment, not him ...”
He thinks brokers are vulgar. He says money isn’t everything.” “What do you think?” “I haven’t a thought to my name. All my thinking has been done for me since infancy. I don’t know what I want, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t get it if I did.… Come on. They’ve been dancing for ten minutes. If we stay here any longer it’ll be a scandal.” She rose and started for the hall.
‘I say,’ said Tibbs, shutting the door which he had previously opened, and giving full vent to a hitherto corked-up giggle, ‘what bothers me is, what will his father say?’ Mr. Septimus Hicks looked at Mr. Calton. ‘Yes; but the best of it is,’ said the latter, giggling in his turn, ‘I haven’t got a father—he! he! he!’ ‘You haven’t got a father. No; but he has,’ said Tibbs.
“On my honour, nothing,—I merely haven’t washed his face.” By this time Moggridge was coming close upon them. “You won’t forget a poor soldier?” said Mr Beveridge in a lower voice.

"I haven’t had but two dinners before to-night." Clover smiled because he heard, and Aunt Mary smiled because she didn’t, but was happy anyway. She had altogether forgotten that she had demurred at dining out. They all sat down and shook out their napkins. Mitchell and Clover shook Aunt Mary’s for her and gave it a beautiful cornerways spread across her lap.

“O, no, not now,” she plead. “Please not now.… I can’t go like this.…” “Yes; now,” he urged. “We’ll never have a better chance.…” “I beg you, if you love me, don’t make me go now. I must think … and get ready.… Why I haven’t even got any powder for my nose.” They both laughed. The tension was broken.
