I promised to be your friend; and though it may be my duty, I couldn't do such a treacherous thing." "As if I didn't know," said Andrew, laying his arm on the lad's shoulder. "Do you think I would have been so open if I had not been sure of you? There, you will come?" "Never again." "Never's a long time, Frank. Come." "Once more, no!" "To take care of me, and keep me from being too rash."
Just three nights ago she had danced at the Merriweathers' ball, and George had held her hand as she leaned over the balcony. "If you can bring yourself back for a moment, Becky, to present company," her grandfather was saying, "you can tell Mr. Cope whether you will walk with us to-morrow to Tom Never's." "I'd love it." "Really?" Cope asked. "You are sure you won't be too tired?"
'It means so much to us women that this this little affair should never happen again. Of course, never's a big word, but one feels so strongly that it is important to stop crowds at the very beginning.
He has red hair and wears correct clothes, and says the right things, and you feel as if he ought to be in Wall Street buying bonds. But here he is, refusing to believe that anything he has done is worth while until he does it to his own satisfaction. "We walked to Tom Never's Head yesterday. It was one of those clear silver days, a little cloudy and without much color.
"Never's the day I've been out here that he hasn't a lot. And look at that," as a shining, squirming object rose unwillingly from the water. "I'll bet I couldn't catch one if I was there. It's because he's hunchbacked, I'm telling you." As John jointed his bamboo pole, he cast a furtive glance at the poor, misshapen being, and caught a touch of Silvey's superstitious fear.
It was just that her father, who always did things thoroughly, had to say something, and so picked on that. "Monday or Tuesday's safest," was her judgment. Maria rolled her eyes round like a gigantic German doll. "Never's best," she gave as her opinion. But that was sly. The others reproved her quickly. "Daddy likes to know," they told her. "Monday or Tuesday's all right."
He stretched out his hand and caught hold of Rickie's ankle. "I've got that Miss Pembroke to lunch that girl whom you say never's there." "Then why go? All this week you have pretended Miss Pembroke awaited you. Wednesday Miss Pembroke to lunch. Thursday Miss Pembroke to tea. Now again and you didn't even invite her." "To Cambridge, no.

Never's been drunk or sober in twenty years, and has never missed his six quarts of beer per diem. You wouldn't think it, to look at him, but I assure you it's so. I can't understand. Gets my admiration. Always does his time, his time-and-a-half and his double- time over time. Why, a single glass of beer would give me heartburn and spoil my next good meal. But he flourishes on it.
