And she was handsome, well provided, well connected oppressively so, indeed; a man might quail a little before her relations. Moreover, she and he had always been good friends, even when as a boy he could not refrain from teasing her for a slow-coach. During his electoral weeks in the country the thought of "Polly" had often stolen kindly upon his rare moments of peace. He must marry, of course.
"Don't make such a noise about it!" said Sam crossly. "I don't know why you should be the one to go," said Elizabeth. "Sam is the eldest." "Yes; but Sam is such a slow-coach. Papa said I was the only one fit to make a sailor of at least, he said I was smart, and Hollo! Sam, I won't have you kicking my legs!"
Oh, slow-coach! Keep out of the way and I'll jump! Give me the letter. I can run faster than you can.
