This served both as parlour and dining-room; it was comfortably furnished, without much attempt at adornment. On the walls were a few autotypes and old engravings. A recess between fireplace and window was fitted with shelves, which supported hundreds of volumes, the overflow of Yule's library. The table was laid for a meal.
When I have a decent income of my own, I shall marry a woman with an income somewhat larger, so that casualties may be provided for. Dora exclaimed, laughing: 'It would amuse me very much if the Reardons got a lot of money at Mr Yule's death and that can't be ten years off, I'm sure. 'I don't see that there's any chance of their getting much, replied Jasper, meditatively.
She had understood that 'Though and the 'what can't be helped. Such allusions reminded her of a time unhappier than the present, when she had been wont to hear plainer language. She knew too well that, had she been a woman of education, her daughter would not now be suffering from loneliness. It was her own choice that she did not go with her husband and Marian to John Yule's.

"Have you it about you?" "Yes, sir." Sir Redvers held out his hand, and Chris handed him the letter. "So you went into the Boer camp! Do you speak Dutch well?"
General White's force was again engaged on the 24th October, when, in order to prevent the enemy crossing the Newcastle road from west to east, and falling on the flank of General Yule's retiring column, an attack was made in force upon the enemy at Rietfontein, near Elandslaagte, and the Boers, after six hours' fighting, were driven from the hills. The object aimed at was thus secured.

A woman is privileged to be a little obstinate, it is always said. Overlook the fault, and persuade her to let bygones be bygones.
