I shall expect you to obey me implicitly. If you do not, I shall punish you. I am here to teach you; you are here to learn and profit from my teaching. I have heard bad reports of most of you, but for the present I shall refrain from mentioning any names. When in the school-room you will be allowed to address me as 'Sir.' Outside the school-room you will not address me in any manner whatsoever.","All right," acquiesced Patricia, meekly. "I didn't mean to be silly. I'm a lot fonder of her than you are, and I was only thinking what fun it would be for her, don't you see?"，"Dido, you wouldn't like to see me the wife of Dr. Etwald?"，CHAPTER VII A Present from Uncle Isaac，“Well,” said he, pausing after each word of his speech, as was his custom, “well, the old gentleman was a good man, as we all know—we who worked for him.

"And when did you come?",“Throw some ashore,” suggested Johnny Blossom.,"'Who excuses himself, accuses himself,'" quotes Geoffrey. "I want no reasons for your rejection. It is enough that I know you do not care for me.","I think, sir, after that you may consider yourself flattened," says Geoffrey, with a laugh.,"All the better to run with, child.",“What’s the rush?” asked Bob. “Found out something?”,“Oh, poor li’l Nancy wants in!” She raised the window and gently lifted the cat into the room.
