With his left leg still over the saddle, and still holding the handles, he looked over his shoulder and began addressing uncomplimentary remarks to Dangle. "You only think of yourself," said Phipps, with a florid face. "They have forgotten us," said Jessie, turning her machine. "There was a road at the top of the hill to Lyndhurst," said Hoopdriver, following her example. "It's no good.
When you hear that the four children found themselves at Waterloo Station quite un-taken-care-of, and with no one to meet them, it may make you think that their parents were neither kind nor careful. But if you think this you will be wrong. The fact is, mother arranged with Aunt Emma that she was to meet the children at Waterloo, when they went back from their Christmas holiday at Lyndhurst.
This was, I imagine, the first American flag hoisted in Old England." Copley purchased, for a London residence, the mansion-house in George Street belonging to Lord Fauconburg.

Lyndhurst Bruce, the husband of Camille Clifford, with other husbands of women unknown. Our guest told the story of the massacre in Neuve Chapelle. "This is a death sentence," said the officers who were ordered to attack.
