"It is inconceivable!" he says to nobody in particular. "What on earth does he mean?"

"I shouldn't have thought Geoffrey was that sort of fellow." "Oh, do take care!" cries Mona, in an agony: "it is loaded. If you throw it about in that rough fashion, it will certainly go off and do you some injury." "Oh! at home, you know," says Mr. Rodney, quickly, discovering his mistake.
