LUBIN. Thank God! You and I were born for one another. Who is your favorite poet, Sally? SAVVY. Savvy. LUBIN. Savvy! I never heard of him. Tell me all about him. Keep me up to date. SAVVY. It's not a poet. I am Savvy, not Sally. LUBIN. Savvy! Thats a funny name, and very pretty. Savvy. It sounds Chinese. What does it mean? CONRAD. Short for Savage. BURGE. Nonsense!
The Duke put in "buts" and "ifs" and "thats" over and over again when he could not think of a word, and you weren't a bit the wiser when he had finished, except that it was awfully wrong to put up barbed wire; but I can't see what that has to do with politics, can you?
Consequently, they had to invent natural birth and natural death, which are, after all, only modes of perpetuating life without putting on any single creature the terrible burden of immortality. LUBIN. I see. The old must make room for the new. SURGE. Death is nothing but making room. Thats all there is in it or ever has been in it.
CONRAD. Spread that knowledge and that conviction; and as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow, the thing will happen. FRANKLYN. We don't know where or when or to whom it will happen. It may happen first to someone in this room. HASLAM. It wont happen to me: thats jolly sure. CONRAD. It might happen to anyone. It might happen to the parlor maid. How do we know? SAVVY. The parlor maid!
It is a little extraordinary that in Paris, the seat of gastronomy, one rarely, if ever, hears of or sees this dish; while in London it is to be met in almost as great abundance as in one of our larger commercial towns. But so it is, and we cannot say we much envy a cuisine its pates, and soufflets, and its a la this and a la thats, but which was never redolent with the odours of turtle-soup.
I may go back to Montana after a bit." "Is it a good place to make money?" "I made five hundred dollars." "Thats only a little more than a hundred dollars a year. Frank Dobson has saved as much as that and he's stayed right here in Burton." "I'm glad of that," said Pettigrew heartily. "Frank is a rousing good fellow. If it hadn't been for him I couldn't have gone to Montana."
"Oh, ay, thats enough; you must be a smart fellow, if you have served with Lord Edward." I understood the envious and sarcastic manner in which this was uttered, and prepared accordingly for an arduous campaign, quite sure that this man, who was no seaman, would have been too happy in turning back one of Lord Edward's midshipmen.
FRANKLYN. Well, you remember, don't you, that in the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve were not created mortal, and that natural death, as we call it, was not a part of life, but a later and quite separate invention? SURGE. Now you mention it, thats true. Death came afterwards. LUBIN. What about accidental death? That was always possible. FRANKLYN. Precisely.
Douglas, whose face had reddened and reddened with successive rushes of blood until it was now purple, lost all self-control at Marmaduke's commiserating tone. "I will see whether I cannot put him in the wrong," he burst out, in the debased voice of an ignobly angry man. "Do you think I will let him tell the world that I have been thrown over and fooled?" "Thats your own story, isnt it?
I am given to understand that you were served with a paper, same as the rest, and the Customs Officer was put out by your not going. I don't wonder at it. Such want of pluck. Its no good your saying you are not Abel. If you are Abel to be a Reservist and draw pay, you are Abel to Fight thats how I look at it.
