"Gentlemen, it's come to our ears that a certain Mr. Barraclough is taking grave risks tonight to get home." Cranbourne flashed an eye at the bedroom door. "Go on!" he said. "Talk straight, man."

After all if she's on an island today she'll be there tomorrow." "If that fool of a sergeant told us the truth this morning," said Lord Torrington, "and there's some man with her I want to break every bone in his body as soon as I can." "He'll be there tomorrow," said Sir Lucius, "and I'll see that there's a boat here to take us out."
By the time Torrington sent this reply he had been pressed back as far as Beachy Head; it was no longer possible to get to the westward; and the following day, finding himself to windward, he attacked. But still confirmed in his idea of defence, and carrying it on to his tactics, he refused to give the French the chance of a real decision, and disengaged as soon as a drop in the wind permitted.
No one would expect any dire results to come of simply spraining a young man's ankle on a steamer; but they did; which is the way many disasters occur and often we don't find out why even afterwards, though in this case Lord Torrington did, thanks to me.
To provide latitude it is necessary we should persuade our opponents that the gentleman is peaceably residing at his own home." "Half a minute.

Suddenly Richard sprang to his feet and brought his hands together. "Tell me," he cried.

Though Lord Torrington doesn't look like a man who would come out in a thunder storm even to catch his daughter." "Your black suit is in the hold-all in my tent," said Lady Isabel.
Lady Torrington, a fussy little woman, her hostess of the night before, on her way down the room stopped and shook hands with Lady Cynthia. "Why, my dear," she exclaimed, "wherever did you vanish to last night? Claude told us all that, in the middle of a dance with him, you excused yourself for a moment and he never saw you again.
That Pembroke's Toryism, however, was not of a narrow and illiberal kind is sufficiently proved by the fact that, immediately after the Revolution, the Essay on the Human Understanding was dedicated to him by John Locke, in token of gratitude for kind offices done in evil times, Nothing was omitted which could reconcile Torrington to this change.
We remain in statu quo ante." A reproach from Mr. Torrington seldom failed to reach its mark. "I'm sorry," Barraclough apologised, "but I give you my solemn word that somehow I'll win you the purse." "The purse," Mr. Torrington smiled. "One almost forgets the purse in a case like this. It is eclipsed by the will to succeed. Adventure! The one thing of which old people never tire."
