"Show him thy talisman, Pem, and let him kiss his jewel good by." Pembroke threw upon the table once more the moccasin of the Indian girl.
"Then I'm not a 'goody girl, for I don't like prigs. I want a gentleman in the best sense of the word, and I can wait, for I've seen one, and know there are more in the world." "The deuce you have! Do I know him?" asked Charlie, much alarmed. "You think you do," answered Rose with a mischievous sparkle in her eye. "If it isn't Pem, I give it up. He's the best-bred fellow I know." "Oh, dear, no!
Una's face flamed upon the bribe, and was so pretty lit by that fixed star in the eye, that it must have been a zero-hearted nickum who could turn his back upon it. "Hold my hat," said Pem: if she had been a boy, the tone would have meant: "Hold my coat while I thrash him!"
"Lay its egg in a nest of the moon! A dead nest! It will do more than that, little Pem!" Toandoah, the inventor, turned from fitting a number of tiny sky-rockets into the supply chamber of a larger one, turned with that living coal of fire in his eye which only the inventor can know, and looked upon his daughter.

Black said she was too busy. "I will be in London to meet you on the 1st as arranged & give you any further news you want. Until then, I remain, Yrs. Truly, A.

My lan, dat man ain't no mo' fool den I is! He's de smartes' man in dis town, lessn' it's Jedge Driscoll or maybe Pem Howard. Blame dat man, he worries me wid dem ornery glasses o' his'n; I b'lieve he's a witch.
And when the little black-haired mite in due time came, when she opened upon her father eyes blue as the empyrean he hoped to conquer, he had cried out of a core of transport lurking in the very heart of disappointment: "Oh! by Jove, I can't quite give up my dream: let's name her Pemrose.
