On her return to the palace, the whole Court was puzzled to account for a change so sudden and extraordinary; for the number of foolish things which they had been accustomed to hear from her, she now made as many sensible and exceedingly witty remarks.

"There is no need to go to the Old Testament to learn that.",“Are—are you hurt bad, Jimmy?” came in a quaking voice.,Mr Greyquill entered the room by two paces, and placing his hand upon the spot where he supposed his heart to lie, made three separate bows to the company, each of the "Your most humble and obedient servant" school; it was an expression of ceremony which for mingled respect and senility should have pleased, as it no doubt did please, Miss Acton.,“Well, he ain’t dead; he’s alive and bully, with a wad that bulges. I’m going to take you to him.”,Harken to our even-song,,Av love 'neath th' skies av ould Ireland, dear—,"Very uncomfortable for you, I fear, after your long ride," says Mona, coldly but courteously.
