Mr Short, the landlord, was a liberal caterer, and he excelled in choice of rounds of beef, in joints of venison, in legs of pork and mutton, in fine dishes of veal; and this ordinary was always graced with a precedent dish of fish, which was invariably fresh from the sea, and whether turbot, cod, bake, soles, and many flat fish which the smacks brought with them into Old Harbour, were delicious in freshness and flavour. Short's cheeses, too, were always very fine, dry, crumbly, flakey, nutty, and without being too strong they flavoured the bread or the biscuit with what the palate knew to be real cheese.

At once the ever-courteous major hastened to apologize to his visitor.,He had the grace, sense, and tact, to offer his hand to Miss Acton, who said: "Do not let go of me.

If I should be left alone in the middle, I should turn giddy and tumble.",When the first violence of the emotions excited by the late scenes was subsided, he enquired concerning Maria de Vellorno.，Aloud he urged: "Come on, Anse. Get Out an' pile into my bed. I ain't scared to sleep in yours, not a bit. Besides," he added, "it'll save you a canin' from Ma."，"Ol' Rabbit-foot charm," he said, aloud. "I jest might need you bad today." Then he turned and walked quickly across the fallow toward the causeway.，The young man spoke to him and asked, "Did you see some weapons lying in the trail?"A low rumble of thunder was heard in the distance and a flash of lightning made the coal-oil lamp look like a bilious spot in the room.

Tonight we are going out fishing.”,“Come on, Jerry,” Bob said; “let’s be getting back.”,"Six hundred tons out and six hundred home. That is twelve hundred.
