I will wipe away your tears, and we shall be glad that Fox Eye is avenged."，“Well, well!” exclaimed Madame Bakke in delight. “Am I to go to Kingthorpe?”，The Admiral buried half his face in his tankard, and after wiping the froth from his lips and looking earnestly at the round of beef as though he deliberated within himself whether he should take another slice, he said: "I am happy to say that I have good news for you. An opportunity has been offered which will do away with the need of your shipping before the mast and seeking your fortune in America. The Minorca, as you doubtless know, is in want of a captain. I was speaking about you to Captain Acton this morning, and regretting, as I must continue to regret whilst I have the capacity of a sigh—I do not say a tear—left in me, that you should relinquish the Service in which, had you behaved with prudence, you were eminently calculated to make a shining figure."，“Oh, because I fought him; because his fishpole got smashed.”"You take care, missy!

As he picked up his hat and turned to the door, Mrs. Wilson opened her hand and held out the gold piece.,"You have something important to say to me," says Mona, presently, seeing he will not speak: "at least, so your letter led me to believe.",“Yes, you had better,” said Aunt Grenertsen.

She had lost almost all her fear of the monster, but she almost died of fright, when he said, "Beauty, will you be my wife?","The way that girl has managed to wake up this little old town is a marvel," he continued enthusiastically. "Let's don't let the folks know that they are off until I get everybody in a full swing of buzz over my queen." I had never seen Tom so enthusiastic over a girl before, and I didn't like it.
