We are not far enough South for the stork to build here. It is a fact, Richie, that I do want to show you the bird for luck, and as a feature of the country. And in me, a desire to do a thing partakes of the impetus of steam. Well, you see we are jogging home to England. I resist myself for duty's sake: that I can do. But if the squire were here with his yea and his nay, by heavens!
Go home and sleep it off," said Miss Sally Ruth, not unkindly. "If you came over to warn me about filling up on Artillery Punch, your duty's done I've never been entertained by the Chatham Artillery, and I don't ever expect to be. I suppose it was intended for you to be a born goose, Appleby, so it'd be a waste of time for me to fuss with you about it.
I saw him with that lily cropped Impatient swim to meet My quick approach; and soon he dropped The treasure at my feet. Charmed with the sight, "The world," I cried, "Shall hear of this thy deed. My dog shall mortify the pride Of man's superior breed." But, chief, myself I will enjoin, Awake at duty's call, To show a love as prompt as thine To Him who gives me all.
It's not a common offer, bear in mind; it's Jarley's Waxwork. The duty's very light and genteel, the exhibition takes place in assembly rooms or town halls. There is none of your open-air wagrancy at Jarley's, remember. And the price of admission is only sixpence." "We are very much obliged to you, ma'am," said Nell, speaking for her grandfather, "and thankfully accept your offer."

"The day will come, sir," he shouted, shaking his fist at my client, "the day will come when you will rue this bitterly." "Don't get off any of your oratorical frills on me," replied Mr.
I would not endure an existence under a sovereignty or a tyranny, since under such forms of government I can not enjoy the rights of free citizenship nor speak my mind safely nor die in a way that is of service to you; and again, if opportunity is afforded to obey any of duty's calls, I would not shrink from action, though it involved danger.
"Do you find duty amusing then; I shouldn't have suspected it." "Oh, duty's only another name for necessity. I'm going to the theatre with Fred Rangely. He wrote an article for the Observer in favor of that great booby Stanton's having the statue. It was a very lukewarm plea, but I asked him to do it, and as a reward"
That would be beautiful; it would be the most beautiful thing." "There you are, then. His duty's his romance. You can't get away from it."
