"I've had too much to think of, too much responsibility, and probably have lost my chance." Wing looks as though he wanted mightily to say something, but conquers his impulse.
He looked at her with a peculiar approval and admiration; then, turning to me, "Do you think I would give her up without a struggle, Frank?" said he. "I tell you plainly, you look out. The next time we come to blows " "Will make the third," I interrupted, smiling. "Aye, true; so it will," he said. "I had forgotten. Well, the third time's lucky."
"Other game, yes," with a sudden gravity, pushing his hair back, and looking in the fire, while the old man made his formal adieus to his wife. They lasted some time, for Madame Soulé was a courtly little body, with all her quiet. "I must make an early start, too," said Frazier, turning again. "Glad of the chance to take a bracing ride. Banks closed to-morrow, so no time's lost, eh?

It is embalmed in the verse of Moore and Southey, and the precious prose of Washington Irvine.
Instead of nobly standing as an example, keeping up the tradition of the past, you surround yourself with a wretched rabble, you have picked up impossible habits, you've grown feeble, you can't do without wine and cards, you read nothing but Paul de Kock, and write nothing, while all of them write; all your time's wasted in gossip.
"My old woman," said Gabbard, "says that two set-down meals a day in harvest time's as many as she'll stand for. So we have dinner out here in good weather, and to the barn when it rains."
