In fact that is the very thing I came here this evening to speak about, as I thought you might not wish to pay the increased rent." "We are much obliged to you," said the cooper, with a tinge of bitterness unusual to him. "If we are to be turned out of doors, it is pleasant to have a few hours' notice of it."

"I could educate her as to morals though, I must say, I am not much used to that kind of instruction; but you will permit me to think that, as to person, I should at least wish to see a rough sketch of what I may expect in my wife before my marriage."
"I wish much you had heard our three last sermons from Mr. Rainy; I never heard any more useful, striking and impressive.

"It is not for a new portrait that I have come, but for the old one. Have you any of the proofs?" "I think not, but I will see. In any case, if you wish some they are easily made, since I have the plate." "Will you look them up?
Be a gentleman. Can't you be a gentleman?" "Oh, you don't love me," I would grunt "I don't? I don't? I wish you would love me half as much," with a sigh. "If you did you would not behave the way you do. That's all your love amounts to behaving like that. All men are hogs, after all."
