I believed these, for I was young and had not yet found out the littleness and meanness of our poor human race, which brags about itself so much, and thinks it is better and higher than the other animals. In October I was well enough to go out with two sorties, and in the second one, on the 23d, I was wounded again. My luck had turned, you see.
I laugh to see men go on our errands, strut in great offices, live in cares, hazards and scandals, to come home and be fools to us in brags of their dispatches, negotiations, and their wisdoms as my good dear deceas'd use to entertain me; which I, to relieve myself from, would lisp some silly request, pat him on the face.

A change crept over Wrinkle's visage; he glided back behind the counter, picked up his towel and began wiping the counter's top till he was in a position to see the gambler. He caught the man's eye and laughed tauntingly: "Hey, Parson, you are always making your brags," he called out.
Look at that shawl, boys, which she has got on! My belief is that Colonel Newcome took that shawl in single combat, and on horseback, from the prime minister of Tippoo Sahib." "Tom Newcome never brags about his military achievements, he is the most modest as well as the bravest man in the world.

"This looks like an excellent place, Tim Tim!" Mrs. Tamytam said, as she threw her little poke bonnet back from her head. "An excellent place!"
