I do not think that Lord Stair praises my son so much as he used to do, for they do not seem to be very good friends. After having received all kinds of civilities from my son, who has made him richer than ever he expected to be in his life, he has turned his back upon him, caused him numerous little troubles, and annoys him so much that my son would gladly be rid of him.

Well, Paul, and how is Dulcinea of Gwynne Street?" "She is very well," replied Paul, who was still a young enough lover to blush, "but I have not seen her since we last met.
"You are, I presume, from what you say, provided with a scheme of action which shall present better hopes of success, at less risk, I hope. Look what great danger we have already passed through." "Yes, we have." "I pray you avoid that in the next campaign."
