"I'll call round for my young friend about nine to-morrow morning," said Abner Holden, with an ingratiating smile. "We will endeavor to have him ready," said the doctor.
Whenever I presumed freely to remonstrate with you, 'Let us be merry, you replied, 'and improve the time that Fortune offers us; perhaps she will not always be so prodigal of her favours: but was I to blame in telling you, that we are ourselves the makers of our own fortunes by a prudent management of them? You would not hearken to me; and I was forced, however reluctantly, to let you go on."
The children, stirring in their sleep in the bedroom adjoining that of their parents, would realize, vaguely, that she was urging him to try something to which he was opposed.

"Why, I could get all of it; but part of the money is mother's, and I would not touch that." The younger man was about to remonstrate, but Montague stopped him, "I will put up the fifty thousand I have earned," he said. "I dare not risk any more."

She had an idea that there were not very many guineas left in Allan's purse, and she felt bound to remonstrate with him because of his extravagance. "Never mind, Graeme, dear," said Norman; "Allan winna have a chance to treat us to manna this while again; and when I am Mayor of Boston, I'll give him manna and quails too." They came home tired, but they had a merry evening.
