I pointed out that a charge of meddling came rather oddly from a lady who honoured me by staying in my house because she preferred it to her husband's. "You know perfectly well why I'm staying in your house; and if you don't, Norah does. I could have stayed with my father, for that matter."
Carried away, wrapped in a sheet, and in a chair, home; and there one after another thus carried, I staying above two hours in the water, home to bed, sweating for an hour; and by and by, comes musick to play to me, extraordinary good as ever I heard at London almost, or anywhere: 5s.
He knew that the Lyman concession was a valuable one, and that the cattleman would put up a long fight before sacrificing it. "Send him down here then," Ned answered. "If he is voluntarily staying with you, he can return if he wants to. Send him down!" "He is afraid you'll try some trick on him," was the reply.

Janet scarcely heard him as she tore open the envelope. "Dear Janet," the letter ran. "The doctor told me I had a false alarm, there was nothing to it. Wouldn't that jar you? Boston's a slow burg, and there's no use of my staying here now. I'm going to New York, and maybe I'll come back when I've had a look at the great white way.
