I’d give it back; I’d get it somehow.... No trace of that shame will remain except in my heart for ever! But no, no; oh, impossible cowardly dreams! Oh, damnation!” Yet there was a ray of light and hope in his darkness. He jumped up and ran back to the room—to her, to her, his queen for ever! Was not one moment of her love worth all the rest of life, even in the agonies of disgrace?
“I expect you think queer of me to write you so soon. I ain’t much on writing you know, but something happened right after you leaving and has kept right on happening that made me feel I kinder like to tell you. Don’t you mind the mistakes I make. I’m thankful to goodness you ain’t the school teacher or I’d never write ‘slong s’ I’m living, but ennyhow I’m going to tell you all about it.
Jack produced a roll of bills and settled for the refreshments. Then they all started down stairs as Aunt Mary wouldn’t risk an elevator going down. "It’s all right comin’ up," she said, "but if it broke when you were going down where’d you be?" "In the elevator," said Clover. "I’d never jump, I know that." "Oh, I’ve left my ear-trumpet," said Aunt Mary. "Let’s draw lots to see who goes back?"
“Oh, you were all right in some things, Lawrence.” “I’d like to know what. How I used to try your patience, though!” Lawrence chuckled, then turned and addressed the boys, especially Westby and Carroll, as they were the oldest. “Did any of you ever see him mad?” “Oh, surely never that,” said Westby urbanely. “Irritated perhaps, but not mad—never lacking in self-control.”
"You think there’s somethin’ in all that talk Topham was givin’ lip to?" Anse asked. "Could be. Can’t say as how I’d like to find out the truth. Look here, Fenner, we’ve heard a lot about Captain Bayliss wantin’ to make trouble for Don Cazar. Does everybody believe that?" "Everybody wot ain’t blind, deef, or outta their natural-born wits," Fenner replied.
And Topham’s face was sober when he had finished. The gambler brought the top book of the pile down on the bar with a thud. "I don’t like it!" "Jus’ ornery meanness, warn’t it? There’s always a few hombres in any outfit as tries to push when they gits a slug or two under their belts," Nye observed. "True. Only Helms went out of his way this time.

Be consistent, and fizz upon a stake; but you’re not made of that stuff. You’re even afraid of uncle.
‘Yes, uncle; but that’s not saying much for Mr. Huntingdon; for I’d rather be an old maid and a pauper than Mrs. Wilmot.’ ‘And Mrs. Huntingdon? What would you rather be than Mrs. Huntingdon—eh?’ ‘I’ll tell you when I’ve considered the matter.’ ‘Ah! it needs consideration, then? But come, now—would you rather be an old maid—let alone the pauper?’ ‘I can’t tell till I’m asked.’
His friends all turned their backs on him. Then I took my first step. I met Agafya Ivanovna, with whom I’d always kept up a friendship, and said, ‘Do you know there’s a deficit of 4,500 roubles of government money in your father’s accounts?’ “ ‘What do you mean? What makes you say so? The general was here not long ago, and everything was all right.’ “ ‘Then it was, but now it isn’t.’
I’ve heard exactly what happened yesterday—and the atrocious behavior of that—creature. C’est tragique, and if I’d been in her place I don’t know what I should have done. And your brother Dmitri Fyodorovitch, what do you think of him?—my goodness!
