'But you are never to call me Miss Palliser. 'May I really call you Ida? That's too lovely. 'May we all call you Ida? asked Horatio. 'Don't begin by making distinctions. Blanche is no better than the rest of us. 'Don't be jealous, said Miss Palliser, laughing. 'I am going to be everybody's Ida. On this she was borne off to the garden as in a whirlwind.
In the meantime, Palliser walked through the high lemon grass to look for his dead elephant. On arriving at the spot, instead of finding a dead elephant, he found him standing up, and only just recovered from the stunning effect of his wound.
"Harmouth air," said Kitty, "is not particularly bracing. In fact it's very relaxing. It probably helped you to break down." "Well, I shall be out of it soon, anyway." He sighed. "Miss Palliser, can you tell me if Miss Harden has come back?" "She came back the day before yesterday." "Have you seen her?" "Yes, I've seen her." There was a long pause, filled by the insistent clamour of the sea.
Jervis was the chief witness for Keppel, as serving next his ship; and his testimony was of the highest order to the gallantry, skill, and perseverance of the admiral. But Palliser was acknowledged to be brave; and it is evident from Jervis's personal opinion, that when it was once the object of the enemy's commander to get away, it was next to impossible to have prevented his escape.
Ida cast a withering look at her tyrant, and moved quickly from her place. 'You are a wretch to say such a thing to me, she cried passionately; 'I will not stay another hour under your roof to be so insulted.

Little more than three years after the expiry of his apprenticeship he became mate of the Friendship, but, a few years later, he turned a longing eye on the navy "having," as he himself said, "a mind to try his fortune that way." In the year 1755 he entered the King's service on board the Eagle, a sixty-gun ship, commanded by Sir Hugh Palliser.
There is so much in a name, and then an ounce of ridicule is often more potent than a hundredweight of argument. By what denomination should the fifth part of a penny be hereafter known? Some one had, ill-naturedly, whispered to Mr. Palliser that a farthing meant a fourth, and at once there arose a new trouble, which for a time bore very heavily on him.
'Very well, my dear, then you must be good enough to let me take my own way of making life pleasant to myself, and you must not take upon yourself to dictate what degree of civility I am to show to Miss Palliser, or to any other lady. Urania held her peace after this. It was the first deliberate snub she had ever received from her father, and she added it to her lengthy score against Ida.
But Lady Palliser said all that was kindly about Ida's youth and inexperience, her impulsive nature; and a man who has just dropped into L7,000 a year is hardly disposed to be inflexible. Sir Reginald was too generous even to question Brian closely as to his capability of supporting a wife.
Palliser and I had taken splendid positions, so as to command either side of the herd on their arrival, with our gun-bearers squatted around us behind our respective trees, while the non-sporting village followers, who now began to think the matter rather serious and totally devoid of fun, scrambled up various large trees with ape-like activity.
