"Not me, though," Sally assured her. "Soppy ones do. I'm not soppy. And I'll tell you what. I'm going to get you out of this place." "I ain't going to live with you and him!" declared Mrs. Minto in alarm. "I wouldn't!" "No. You're going to live somewhere else. I want you to get away from here. You're going to have two decent rooms ... in Stoke Newington.
Jimmie looked incredulous. She is so deliciously lacking in a sense of humour that in the frivolous society of Jimmie and me she is as much out of place as the Venus de Milo would be in vaudeville. "We had such a delightful day at Stoke Pogis Monday, how would you like to spend Sunday at Canterbury?" she said.
Of Charles she saw a good deal, more than at the time she was quite aware of, for he seemed to see a great deal of everybody, from Lady Grace to the shy man of the party, who at Stoke Moreton first conceived the idea that he was an acquisition to society.
"Thank you, you are remarkably well preserved. I can hardly believe those six-weeks! What nationality?" "American, of course, or half and half; with an English mother and American ideas." "Thank you.

Thus addressed, Roger lays aside his Analytics, and the pair walk down by Balliol, to the Beaumont, where pyked staffe, or sword and buckler, is played. At the Beaumont they find two men who say that "sword and buckler can be played sofft and ffayre," that is, without hard hitting, and with one of these Stoke begins to fence.
Breakfast is very pleasant in this house, and the two good sisters look so neat and cheerful. Oct 15. We went to see Mrs. Barbauld at Stoke Newington. She was gratified by our visit, and very kind and agreeable. BOWOOD, Nov. 3, 1818. We have just returned to dear Bowood.
To sustain a fire on the earth much time and care and expense are necessary; fuel has to be constantly supplied, and men have to stoke the fire to keep it burning. Considering that the sun is not only vastly larger than all the fires on the earth put together, but also than the earth itself, the question very naturally occurs to us, Who supplies the fuel, and who does the stoking on the sun?
