All the same, he might have come into the mess for a drink. I'm not complaining of his doing anything he liked in the way of going to church; but I don't see that a whisky and soda would have hurt him afterwards. He must have wanted it." Sam McAlister walked into my office yesterday and laid down a handful of silver on my desk.
Fortunately for me, the head surgeon Sandy McAlister was a wonderfully clever fellow, of infinite patience and inflexible determination; and, having expressed the opinion that the limb could be saved, he brought all the skill and knowledge of which he was possessed to the task of saving it, with the result that, in the end, he was successful.
McAlister said thoughtfully. "Probably because there isn't any hall, and the dining-room is a tight fit for five of us," Phebe answered, as she took a cup from the china closet without troubling herself to leave her seat at the table. "Teddy's establishment boasts the poetic name of Dandelion Lodge," Mrs. McAlister added.
One of my errands, to-day, was to make some kind of an engagement with you. I've my reputation for laziness to redeem, you know." "I wish you wouldn't remind me of all the horrid things I said to you," she said contritely. He looked at her in surprise. It was not like the Phebe McAlister he had known, to speak like this.

He searched his mind in vain for some just cause of personal offence; he could not realize that, in Phebe's present state of mind, there was no interest at all for her in a man who could neither swim nor play golf, and that it was characteristic of Phebe McAlister never to hide her feelings.
Fifteen years old, and calls himself Jamie! If he'd only brace up and be Jim, there'd be some sort of hope for him."

Theodora, meanwhile, went in search of Mrs. McAlister.
After repeated applications, I have obtained a warrant for your advance money, £18,000, which I have put into the hands of Mr. McAlister, to receive the money from the Treasurer, and carry it to you. I am, with very sincere esteem, Dear Sir, your friend and servant, Th: Jefferson. LETTER XLV. TO GENERAL WASHINGTON, February 26,1781 Richmond, February 26,1781. Sir,
