The pre-eminence of Sir Charles Tupper must not lead me to forget that his son had the honour of being one of Sir John's colleagues in the old chieftain's latter years.

Dan Dalzell was grinning slightly, while Hazelton was giving his whole attention to the second ice before him.

I have just received a new edition of his poems, with illustrations by Doré: charming artist, full of poetry, fancy, sweetness, imagination. Do you admire Doré, Captain Hibbert?
'That isn't true; I shall never forget her. I cannot forget her; but I will consent to wait if you will consent to our being engaged. 'No, Captain Hibbert, I think it is better not. I do not approve of those long engagements. 'Then you'll forget what has passed between us, and let us be the same friends as we were before?

"Within a week," Alonzo Hibbert replied as seriously as ever. He glanced at Greg with a look full of friendly interest.
