If Drummond could hardly hold him, what would you do?" "I believe I could beat Drummond, sir," said Sheen. Mr Spence's eyes opened wider. Here were brave words. This youth evidently meant business. The thing puzzled him. On the one hand, Sheen had been cut by his house for cowardice.
"Though it'll be a bit of a job getting leave," said Sheen. "How would you start about it, Bruce?" "You'd better ask Spence. He's the man to go to." "That's all right. I'm rather a pal of Spence's." "Ask him tonight after prep.," suggested Bruce.
The books, however, that were his constantly recurring sources of attraction were Tooke's Pantheon, Lemprière's Classical Dictionary, which he appeared to learn, and Spence's Polymetis.
"Do you play?" exclaimed Mrs. Kame, in a voice of mixed incredulity and hope. "Play!" cried Mr. Brent, "she can teach Jerry Shorter or the Duchess of Taunton." "The Duchess cheats," announced Cecil Grainger. "I caught her at it at Cannes " "Indeed, I don't play very well," Honora interrupted him, "and besides " "Suppose we go over to Mrs. Spence's house," Trixton Brent suggested.
From the beginning of his aerial experiments in his own schoolroom, he had not opened his lips, knowing somehow that one of the requirements for air floating is perfect silence on the part of the floater; but, finally, irritated beyond measure by Miss Spence's clamorous insistence, he was unable to restrain an indignant rebuke and immediately came to earth with a frightful bump.

It was Honora who told him that he ought to be ashamed of himself.
Spence's Anecdotes, which are frequently quoted and referred to in Johnson's Lives of the Poets, are in a manuscript collection, made by the Reverend Mr. Joseph Spence , containing a number of particulars concerning eminent men. To each anecdote is marked the name of the person on whose authority it is mentioned.
Robert Morton waited a moment, then, without heeding her mischievous comment, added gravely: "A friend of Mr. Spence's." "I see." The old lady smoothed the satin folds of her gown thoughtfully before she spoke, then continued with extreme gentleness: "Tell me all about her." "I couldn't do that," declared Robert Morton.
I've had an opportunity to observe the ones who come over here, mother." "I won't have a prospective guest discussed," Mrs. Holt declared, with finality. "Joshua, you remember my telling you last spring that Martha Spence's son called on me?" she asked. "He is in business with a man named Dallam, I believe, and making a great deal of money for a young man.
Only remember that it is equally important to preserve health as to attain it, and it needs much the same regimen. Do not be like that Lord Russell in Spence's Anecdotes, who only went hunting for the sake of an appetite, and who, the moment he felt any sensation of vitality in the epigastrium, used to turn short round, exclaiming, "I have found it!" and ride home from the finest chase.
