"Perhaps after all we should consider Ireland the end and aim of all things. I dare say when you come back you will be more Irish than the Irish."，After a long period Jerry spoke again almost to himself. “If we were only up Green River way, now, there would be a chance. I was by there once.

Both she and I are in a net woven by Dido.""Isabella killed Maurice!" said Jen, pushing back his chair. "Impossible, doctor. You must be mistaken."

The lieutenant politely nodded his agreement with this view, and finished his glass of brandy and soda-water. At long intervals, to compare the lapses with the short time he spent on board, he directed a look at Lucy; but the glance was that of a man who knows that women do not admire him, and do not want him, a poor, plain, and elderly man: and whose policy, resolved long ago, was to give the marriageable part of the sex a very wide berth.,"Nope, it's a dog. Now then, you see these two boys runnin' away from the gap?",Billy ran off full of vague expectation born of his mother’s smile. No one in all the country round, not even Harold Prettyman, whose father had the finest farm in Vine County, had such a splendid place to play as the Bennetts’ back lot that sloped down to Runa Creek.

He went to South America to get rich. When he comes back, he wrote in a letter to me, I shall be as rich as a princess.”,"I shall be delighted, Mr. Haydon," she said primly, to the great gratification of Judith, who had previously arranged this incident.,Whilst they waited for Sir William the conversation turned upon his son.,"Are you not afraid to take the command of a ship, sir?" enquired Miss Acton, who continued to peer at Mr Lawrence over her glasses.,“Every tub must stan’ on its own bottom,” commented Mrs. Wopp. But even as she spoke, an unmistakable expression of gratified pride spread over her large motherly countenance.,A moment later Mr. Whitney was beside him, an expression on his face which the boy could not fathom.
