My fair young readers, who have seen a half-dozen of seasons, can you call to mind the time when you had such a friendship for Emma Tomkins, that you were always at the Tomkins's, and notes were constantly passing between your house and hers? If your younger sister is not in the room, I know you will own as much to me. I think you are always deceiving yourselves and other people.
Presently he resumed tentativery: "I have er brought you a few dainties." "Yes," said Pansy, "I see; but they're from the wrong shop, you dear old silly! They're from Tomkins's, and we girls just abominate his things. You oughter have gone to Emmons's. Never mind. I'll show you when we go out. We're going out, aren't we?" she said suddenly, lifting her head anxiously.
As a specimen of Mr Tomkins's poetical talents, I shall give his invitation to Mr Drummond, written in the very best German text: "Mr and Mrs T Sincerely hope to see Mr and Mrs Drum- Mond, to a very hum- Ble party that they in- Tend to ask their kin To, on the Saturday Of the week ensuing: When fiddles they will play, And other things be doing." Belle Vue House.
"You would have the best of the argument entirely," I replied, "if your expectation was sure to turn out correct." As I spoke, we had come within a few yards of the Tomkins's cottage, which lay low down from the village towards the river, and I saw that the water was at the threshold. I turned to Mr Stoddart, who, to do him justice, had not yet grumbled in the least.

"That abominable candidate of Tomkins's would come in!" exclaimed Ethel. "Oh, Flora, that would be horrid!" "That might be guarded against," said Flora. "Perhaps Sir Henry But oh! let us leave politics in peace while we can. I thought we should do some great good, but it is all a maze of confusion. It is so hard to know principles from parties, and everything goes wrong!
Here we learned, for the first time, the arrival at Monterey of Commodore Shubrick in the ship Independence, and of the Lexington with Captain Tomkins's company of artillery, and freighted otherwise with munitions, stores, and tools necessary to the erection and defence of durable fortifications at Monterey and San Francisco.
"Hem! hem! hem!" coughed the Colonel of the Parliament service; and if his lips did not curse his companion's imprudence, I will not answer for what arose in his heart, "Well!" he said, observing that Wildrake had filled his own glass and Tomkins's, "take that parting glass and begone."
Goody Solomon sold beer in opposition to you, set up a public; you do not like Goody Solomons, Peter Dealtry?" "If that were all Jacobina had done!" said the landlord, grinning. "All! what else did she do? Why she eat up John Tomkins's canary-bird; and did not John Tomkins, saucy rascal, say you could not sing better nor a raven?"
How was I to know that that Axworthy would get them together again, and take them to this affair pull up the stakes saw them down for they were hard to get down shy all sorts of things over into the court-hoot at old Tomkins's man, when he told them to be off and make a bonfire of the sticks at last?" "And Harvey Anderson was there?" "No not he.
