Izaak Walton had got to the left of Sir Thomas Browne, and the poet Burns was wedged disconsolately between two volumes of Hazlitt.

And Gideon heard her pretty laughter flow abroad. "We must try to get acquainted with this Mr. Jimson; I feel sure he must be nice." "Well, miss, I'm afraid I must be going on. I've got to be at Haverham, you see." "O, don't let me keep you, you kind man!" said Julia. "Good-afternoon." "Good-afternoon to you, miss." Gideon sat in the cabin a prey to the most harrowing thoughts.
What can it be about? And Gideon heard her pretty laughter flow abroad. 'We must try to get acquainted with this Mr Jimson; I feel sure he must be nice. 'Well, miss, I'm afraid I must be going on.
