"No, you must have thought I'd want you to traipse off on some perfectly aimless, nonsensical trip like a pair of sentimental idiots." "Oh, you know me better than that," he murmured.

There, Daniel Dott! aren't you proud of your wife?" There was a little hesitation in her husband's manner, and yet he tried his best to be enthusiastic.

The tide's on the turn, so we'd slip down along easy and I'm thinking that 'ud spare Miss Verity the traipse over the shore path. Wonnerful parching in the sun it is for the latter end of September." "Oh! to the breakwater by all means," Tom answered with alacrity. For reaction had set in.
