I fully acquiesce in what you say of the cessation of our former terms of acquaintance, and with many thanks for past kindness, believe me, 'Your obedient servant, 'U. O'MORE.
When it turned out that Sebastopol was anything but taken, Mr. Cavendish Dusautoy's incredulity was a precious confirmation of his esteem for his own sagacity, more especially as Ulick O'More and Maurice had worn out the little brass piece of ordnance in firing feux de joie. 'But, said Maurice, 'papa always said it was not true.
Think how unusual it will be for us to live in three different houses for a week; and 'there's luck in odd numbers, says Rory O'More. We shall have the advantages of good society, too, when we are living apart, for I foresee entertainment after entertainment.

It was lucky for Lucy that all this passed by Sophy's ear as unheeded as the babbling of the brook. She did not move, till roused by Ulick O'More, coming up from the bridge, telling that he had met some Irish haymakers in the meadows, and saying he wanted to beg a frock for one of their children.
