You envenom and you paralyze." "What have I done, Meess? You must not marry Paul. He cannot marry." "Dog in the manger!" I said: for I knew she secretly wanted him, and had always wanted him.
Just as I finished dressing, a tap came to the door: I said, "Come in," expecting the chambermaid, whereas a rough man walked in and said, "Gif me your keys, Meess." "Why?" I asked. "Gif!" said he impatiently; and as he half-snatched them from my hand, he added, "All right! haf your tronc soon." Fortunately it did turn out all right: he was from the custom-house.
"Let me persuade you to calm, Meess; let me lead you to your chamber," said she, trying to speak softly. "No!" I said; "neither you nor another shall persuade or lead me." "Your bed shall be warmed.

But I saw deliverance and escape gliding away from my reach, and, strung to unnatural force by desperation, I pushed past her, and beat the window wildly with my hands, screaming 'Save me save me! Here, here, Monica, here!
He stood still a moment and looked at her. "Now we're on terra cotta," he said, "let me remind you that we've not shaken hands. Oh, but it's good to see you again!" "Look well, my child," said Madame Chevillon, "and when you see approach the Meess, warn me, that I may make the little omelette at the instant." "Oh, la, la, madame!" cried Marie five minutes later.
"Meess Norvell," and Albrecht stood rubbing his hands and smiling genially, "at Gilchrist we are pilled to blay for dwo nights, und der second blay vill be der 'Man from der Vest' you know dot bart, Ida Somers?" "Yes," she acknowledged, "I am perfectly acquainted with the lines, but who is to play Ralph Wilde?" "Mister Mooney, of course.

Her diploma attained, Francine begged to accompany her English teacher back to London: she wished to become a meess, she said, and be competent to teach like a new Hypatia.
