It isn't as bad as that, anyway." It served me right. I should have known better.
And Adelia Williams is a perfect housekeeper." "You didn't use to think so much of the Williams crowd," said Young Thomas drily. "Oh, some of them don't amount to much," admitted Maria, "but Adelia is all right." Catching sight of an odd look on Young Thomas's face, she added hastily, "Thomas Everett, I believe it's true after all. Now, is it? For mercy's sake don't be so sly.
'But at least a person a living, loving person all lovely itself, and giving loveliness to all things! If I must have an ideal, let it be, for mercy's sake, a realised one. Claude opened his sketch-book. 'We shall get swamped in these metaphysical oceans, my dear dreamer.

"Alice," he entreated in a low voice, his whole face crimson, "for mercy's sake, don't talk about such things before the servants." Mrs. Oke burst into a high, light, rather hysterical laugh, the laugh of a naughty child. "The servants!
Dreamy and inert and phlegmatic people shiver and huddle, see only the sombreness, and find the winter one long imprisonment in the dark.

As soon as he was gone, I went down into the kitchen and said, 'Do, for mercy's sake, Hannah, have dinner ready at the hour to-day. Mr. Martinet particularly desires it. Hannah made no answer. It is one of her disagreeable habits, when you speak to her.
"For mercy's sake don't go and say that you are a Radical at heart too," I cried. "N-n-o. But isn't it rot, the whole business?" "What whole business?" "Ask Mr Fordyce there. He will tell you. I see it in his eye." "What is rot, Robin?" I asked. "Party government?" "Yes," said Robin, quite explosively for him. "It is such a scandalous waste of power and material." He laid down his cigar.
She turned with her weight of peace, lay down, and went to sleep in the presence of her Life.
