And am I ever to learn the reason of your extraordinary behavior?","We found the window open when we came in," said Maurice. "Did you open it?","Not so much so that I cannot help you to cross over in safety, if you will only trust yourself to me," replies he.,“But isn’t your shirt wet?”，"Not uncivil, but cool. You will say to her, 'It was rather better than I anticipated, thank you.' And then, if you can manage to look bored, it will be quite correct, so far, and you may tell yourself you have scored one."，“Doh, re, mi, fah, soh, la, ti, doh,” sang the children in faint uncertain tones.，The laugh with which the malicious old fellow accompanied this sally caused the sailor to gaze eagerly round the ground as though for a stone to heave at him."It would be rude to deny that," he says, with a slight shrug.
