Sharpe had quitted his forge for the night and, seated at his domestic board, was, with a dismal presentiment of future indigestion, voraciously absorbing his favorite meal of hot saleratus biscuits swimming in butter, he had apparently forgotten his curiosity concerning Mainwaring and settled himself to a complaining chronicle of the day's mishaps.
For some reason or other, Tuesday was a bad day for the Liberals, and there was a series of ugly and annoying little mishaps. Thus, in the first division, which was snatched quickly by the Tories, informed by their scouts of what was going on, the majority sank to thirty-three.

In a moment of weakness, she gratuitously gave away the secret that Mother supported her family by the work of her hands. The two girls were sitting on the side of Lilith's bed. Laura had a day of mishaps behind her that partly, no doubt, accounted for her self-indulgence.
"All the while I was getting supper I watched you. And you merely smoked and flipped pebbles in the pool and kept supper waiting." "You're wrong there," said Philip. "I've been thinking, too." "I'd like to know just why you've been thinking so deeply!" "Honest Injun?" "Honest Injun!" "Well," said Philip slowly, "I've been reviewing the possible mishaps incident to a caravan trip to Florida."
