He was engaged in a mental calculation as to the amount of the deduction he should make under the head of "damage to the institootion," this depending somewhat on that of the "pecooniary compensation" she might have received for her services as the friend of Elsie Venner. So Helen slid back at once into her routine, the same faithful, patient creature she had always been.
My frens, let us drop a tear!" "No," I said, "you must excuse me. Others may drop one if they feel like it; but as for me, I decline. The early managers of this institootion were a bad lot, and their crimes were trooly orful; but I can't sob for those who died four or five hundred years ago. If they was my own relations I couldn't.
"Well, what did you think of that, old girl?" asked Peter Pax of Tottie, on issuing from the Literary Message-Boys' Hall, after having performed his duties there. "It was wonderful. I 'ad no idear that the Post-Office was so old or so grand a' institootion But please don't forget father," said Tottie, with an anxious look at the battered clock. "I don't forget 'im, Tot.
"I been thinkin' 'bout the institootion where I come from; it was seein' them little boys put me in mind of it, I reckon. I was kinder wonderin' what it would be like to really belong to anybody." There was neither pathos nor self-pity in her tone, but rather a cold, dispassionate speculation that froze the words of awkward sympathy which rose to his lips, and he remained silent.

"I did once, you know," she continued, "belong to some body, I mean. I had on a white dress all trimmed with lace when they found me in the station at the junction an' took me up to the institootion; it was the only white dress I ever had." "Where was this institution, Lou?" Jim asked. "You've never told me, you know." Lou shrugged.
Besides, I want to visit Mr Blurt. The book he lent me on Astronomy ought to be returned, and I want to borrow another. Come, you'll go with me." After exchanging some books at the library in the basement, which the man in grey had styled a "magnificent institootion," the two friends left the Post-Office together. "Old Mr Blurt is fond of you, Pax."
"I've seen the lifeboat we have here, you know, but I never heard of the Institootion." "Well, well, Susan, I needn't be surprised, for, to say truth, there's many in this country, who think no small beer o' theirselves, that know precious little about either the one or the other, although they're the most valooable Institootions in the country.
