"Hurra for old England!" was the general cry, fore and aft. "Hurra! hurra!" At length I once more found myself an inmate of Daisy Cottage, and many happy weeks I spent there perhaps the happiest in my life in the society of my uncle and aunt and young cousins.
"Many thanks to ye, Miss Daisy!" "May ye niver want as good!" "Hurra for the flower of Melbourne!" Shouts various and confused at last made Daisy comprehend they were cheering her. So she gave them a little courtesy or two, and walked off again as fast as she thought it was proper to go. She went home and to the library, but found nobody there; and sat down to breathe and rest; she was tired.
Hurra for the homespun dress, The Southern ladies wear. This ended the entertainment. On our journey to Bristol we met many Rebel soldiers, of all ranks, and a small number of citizens.

Before I could half recover from the fit of laughing this event threw me into, I heard him as he ran full speed down Dawson-street, waving his hat, and shouting out at the top of his lungs, "God bless your grace Long life to your grace Hurra for the hero of Waterloo; the great captain of the age," &c. &c.; which I grieve to say, for the ingratitude of the individual lauded, seemed not to afford him half the pleasure, and none of the amusement it did the mob, who reechoed the shouts and cheering till he was hid within the precincts of the Mansion House.

"Hurra! the stragglers have arrived!" exclaimed Codman, the first to notice the hunter and Claud as they shot into the mouth of the small, quiet river, on whose bank was busily progressing the work of the incipient encampment.
Crauford left the shop. "Hurra!" said he, almost audibly, when he was once more in the street, "hurra! my victim is made; my game is won: death or the devil fights for me.
