'She could certainly spare that reproach to her cousin Dick, said he, laughing; 'but no more of this sparring. When do you mean to take me down to the country with you?

"I'm not potent at all," Miss Gannion said regretfully.
King and little Hartopp were sparring in the Reverend John Gillett's study at 10 P.M. classical versus modern as usual. 'Character proportion background, snarled King. 'That is the essence of the Humanities. 'Analects of Confucius, little Hartopp answered. 'Time, said the Reverend John behind the soda-water. 'You men oppress me.
