"Ay, sir," said Phoebe, "that's likelier; and if I was to let him go to prison, I should sit me down and think of his parting look, and I should fling myself into the water for him before I was a day older." "Ye mustn't do that anyway. While there's life there's hope." Upon this Phoebe put him a question, and found him ready to do anything for her, in reason provided he was paid for it.
"Frankly, I can see nothing in what you have told me about the young man which could not be explained in other and likelier ways. He may have got entangled, for instance, with some woman in London." Mr. Wedmore took fire at this suggestion. "In that case, the sooner Doreen forgets all about him the better." "Mind, I'm only suggesting!" put in the doctor, hastily.

"What did you say?" asked George Douglas, catching the sound of her muttering, and thinking she was addressing himself. "I wasn't speaking to you.

I thought of Lady Edbury; but her income was limited, and her expenditure was not of Lady Sampleman, but it was notorious that she loved her purse as well as my aunt Dorothy, and was even more, in the squire's phrase, 'a petticoated parsimony.
