Take off all your useless ornaments and only wear the chain the king gave you on your marriage.
Only with the greatest difficulty did Lady Szentirmay succeed in preventing Fanny from flinging herself at her feet; the poor girl had to be content with hiding her head in Flora's breast and sobbing; and when she had wept there to her heart's content, then only did she feel happy, oh so happy!
To make the best of a bad job I sent Commandant Kritzinger and Captain Scheepers, with their three hundred men, to march in the direction of Rouxville with orders that as soon as the Orange River became fordable, they were to cross it into Cape Colony without delay.

I sell the best trade in the country and to a good many men that you don't sell; now, why is it I can't catch on to Luce? The other asked, 'Do you ever talk politics to him? 'No. 'Well, that's his soft side. He's a regular old moss-back, Vallandigham Democrat. If you want to succeed, go in on that line. His friend thanked him, and the next time he went to Toledo he felt better.

"You do everything well, I think. You succeed in whatever you try. That is why they have fancied here you have won the hearts of so many women, sir." "There you go again about the women!
