'Eh? He's left it well, if this doesn't beat the band! Here, Wenham nip after the man and tell him he left his luggage behind! Jim stooped to lift the case by the handle. 'But it's Dick's! 'Dick's? 'It's the suit-case I gave him my birthday present last April. See, there are his initials!
Yet, when it came to accounting for Tom Corey, as it often did in a community where every one's generation is known to the remotest degrees of cousinship, they could not trace his sweetness to his mother, for neither Anna Bellingham nor any of her family, though they were so many blocks of Wenham ice for purity and rectangularity, had ever had any such savour; and, in fact, it was to his father, whose habit of talk wronged it in himself, that they had to turn for this quality of the son's.
The servant had reappeared with their second and last course. For a few moments they spoke of casual subjects. Afterwards, however, Tavernake asked a question. "By the way," he said, "we are hoping to let Grantham House to Mrs. Wenham Gardner. I suppose she must be very wealthy?" Beatrice looked at him curiously. "Why do you come to me for information?" she demanded.

"Well, Wenham, you are a fortunate man," interposed Mr. Howel, "if you can find any literature in America, to add to, or to substract from.
But if the wings are to be modelled in imitation of natural examples, but very little consideration will serve to demonstrate its utter impracticability when applied in these forms. Thus Wenham, one of the best theorists of his age.

"Oh fatally! See how I have. And see how you have with ME. She's intelligent, moreover, remarkably pretty, remarkably good. And she'll adore you." "Well then?"

"Lend me a hundred, Wenham, for God's sake," poor Rawdon said "I've got seventy at home." "I've not got ten pounds in the world," said poor Mr. Wenham "Good night, my dear fellow." "Good night," said Rawdon ruefully. And Wenham walked away and Rawdon Crawley finished his cigar as the cab drove under Temple Bar. In Which Lord Steyne Shows Himself in a Most Amiable Light
