"There is only one woman in the world that I can't trifle with, and that's yourself." "Oh, but what an admission!" She laughed at him, softly mocking. "And I'm so fond of trifling, too. Then what can you possibly want with me? I suppose you have really called to say good-bye." "No," said Hone. He spoke quickly, and, as he spoke, he leaned towards her. A deep glow had begun to smoulder in his eyes.
Are you aware that the castle is no longer mine?" "The castle no longer yours! Och hone," replied the old woman, opening her eyes wide with astonishment. "That I am a beggar, and shall be sent to prison?" "The master to prison Och hone!" "That my daughter is no longer an heiress, but without a shilling?" "The beautiful child without a shilling Och hone!"
"Mein friend," answered the adept, foreed by circumstances to speak something nearer the truth than he generally used to do, "I believed it no more than you and no man at all, till I did hear them hone and moan and groan myself on de oder night, and till I did this day see de cause, which was an great chest all full of de pure silver from Mexico and what would you ave nae think den?"
Philip Hone lived in a house on Broadway, facing City Hall Park. When he wished to dine out he did not have to go far, for almost next door was the American Hotel, one of the most famous hostelries of the period. Its cooking was as sturdily patriotic as its name, although the menu is flavoured with badly written French. Here is a sample bill-of-fare, bearing the date of June 10, 1848.

She wears a cap, and her hair's cut off like an oakum-picker's. That's more gossip for neighbours!" "Mad people! will they listen to truth?" Rhoda flamed out in her dark fashion. "We speak truth, nothing but truth.
"In a few weeks, I hope," he answered her just as quietly, comprehending her instantly. "I'll be good and wait," she answered him in a Hone of voice that would have done credit to little Bettie Pratt. "Let's hurry and get that bucket of water; don't you hear them singing the doxology?"
You know you have constantly expressed the hope that neither of them would hang fire like dear Julia." "Oh, I know it. I'm a selfish brute, Josephine," I answered, beginning to hone my razor with the desperate air of one who would fain cut his own throat as the simplest solution of the problem of living. And only six months ago the horizon of my domestic happiness looked so clear and comforting.
"It's only a bit of a breeze overhead," said Hone. "We won't stop to listen anyway." He caught her hand in his once more, grasping it firmly, and they moved forward again. They could see the moonlight glimmering on the water ahead, and in another yard or two the low-growing bush to which Hone had moored the boat became visible. In that instant, with a jerk of terror, Nina stopped short. "Pat!
As his eye took in its contents the blood surged up and about his temples. He tore the paper across and across again, flung the pieces on the ground, and stooped for his scythe. The wastrel cast a wild look about him and fled. As he turned, presenting his back, Roger hurled his hone. It caught him a little above the shoulder-blades, almost on the neck, and broke in two pieces.
This man and Webb are now bitter enemies, and it was nuts for Bennett to be the organ of Mr. Lynch's late vituperative attack upon Webb, which Bennett introduced in his paper with evident marks of savage exultation." To that famous masked ball given by the Brevoorts on the evening of February 24, 1840, in their house at Ninth Street and Fifth Avenue Hone went attired as Cardinal Wolsey.
