Ridding was a friendly and amiable old man, and at any other time would have talked to him with pleasure; but he had made up his mind for the Twinklers as one makes up one's mind for a certain dish and is ravaged by strange fury if it isn't produced.

"What say you to carrying her off, Captain?" suggested Blueskin. "If you've a fancy for the girl, we might do it." "No no," laughed Jack. "Bess wouldn't bear a rival. But if you wish to do old Wood a friendly turn, you may bring his wife."

When I sailed for New York in the spring I thought there was a chance that she would carry out the action she begun four years ago and go through the form of ridding herself of him definitely; that is, I thought there was some hope for me; I believed there was until this morning. But I know better now.
"What motive could he have for such unheard-of baseness such barbarity?" cried Mrs. Disbrowe, bursting into tears. "Shall I tell you, madam?" replied Parravicin. "He is tired of you, and has taken this means of ridding himself of you." Mrs. Disbrowe uttered a loud scream, and fell back in the bed.
"They wouldn't trouble me if I had a husband who knew how to make them treat me with respect!" The baron laughed a strident, nervous laugh, which it was not pleasant to hear, and which revealed the fact that intense suffering was hidden beneath all this banter. "Would you like me to fight a duel then? After twenty years has the idea of ridding yourself of me occurred to you again?
