"I am my own master," replied Philip firmly. "You seem to forget that I am your guardian." "I don't forget it, for I never knew it," said our hero. "It is generally understood that such is the case." "I can't help it. I don't need a guardian, and shall get along without one." "Ahem! Perhaps that isn't to be decided by you."
"As for this ahem! this person!" and the mud turtle looked very severely at Uncle Wiggily, very severely indeed, "as for this person, I will soon show him! Oh, my, yes! and a tortoiseshell comb in addition," he said; and then the turtle stuck out its long neck, straight at the old rabbit, until Uncle Wiggily thought it was a snake.
"Ahem!" said Mauleverer, "you view the matter with more sense than sentiment; but look you, Brandon, we must try, for both our sakes, if possible, to keep the identity of Lovett with Clifford from being known. I do not see why it should be. No doubt he was on his guard while playing the gallant, and committed no atrocity at Bath. The name of Clifford is hitherto perfectly unsullied.
'Imagine such a happy land, my friends; a land, I say, which nobody hasn't ever thought of "developing the resources" of, that's the proper phrase, I believe. There are the people, with clothing enough for comfort and ahem! good manners, but, mark you, no more. No manufacture of luxurious skirts and hulsters and togs o' that kind by the exploited classes.

See how well dressed and how dignified I am!"
"Because that is my name, I suppose," I answered, shaking up a cushion for William Adolphus and thereby disturbing the dust of years. Alexander Abraham coughed gently. "Isn't that ahem! rather a peculiar name for a woman?" "It is," I said, wondering how much soap, if any, there was in the house.
It's O'Brien's Lane." Then, after a long silence, "Can't you back out?" "It's rather I mean sorter risky, mister. I don't know how far I'd have to back, doncherknow er, ahem!" "The crossroads can't be more than a hundred yards behind you. Where are you going?" "I'm going for a doctor," called Windomshire, hastily.
Bultitude, losing his temper; "I haven't been searching the whole school for sweetmeats! I have other things to occupy my mind, sir. And, once for all, I demand to be heard! Dr. Grimstone, there are, ahem, domestic secrets that can only be alluded to in the strictest privacy. I see that one of your assistants is writing at his table there.
Well, I think your book will do, and so does my wife, for whose judgment I have a great regard; as well I may, as she is the daughter of a first-rate novelist, deceased.
