When he came from his West India voyage in a Merchant ship his favourite saying was, 'Aft the more honour. Forward the better man.'","Well, the Yankee's discipline is taut, though not so taut as ours by the length of a log-line to a lead-line. You therefore understand the necessity of obeying orders?",The stillness of the crowded room had grown more impressive. “Do you understand?” asked the Admiral.,"By the evidence of the tramp Battersea.","No doubt," returns his mother, sneeringly.，“Gee whiz, it’s interesting,” said Bob at last, when Jerry put the fascinating instrument away.，He lifts his head here, and laughs aloud, a short, unmirthful laugh.，Judith flew back to his side, pushing Patricia ahead to Elinor.“You have counted the cost well? There is no great reward in what you plan to do. There will be no limousines—no luxury in the life you will lead. A lawyer can have both.”

Harry glanced behind him with a shudder. "God love you fer a good lad, Billy," he cried; "but this is no way to trate an ould frind, is ut now?","Bless you, no, child," she said lightly. "I merely thought he would be more apt to be like your oldest sister, whom I admire tremendously, as everyone knows.",“Oh, no, no! I’m fit—I must find her myself—right now!”,"Let her thry," says old Brian, in his soft, Irish brogue, that comes kindly from his tongue.

An ungovernable desire to misbehave himself took possession of him. Never in his life had his head felt so light—unless it was the night when he and Maurice had inadvertently mistaken hard cider for sweet and had nearly disgraced themselves. He was not even aware of who was beside him on his seat, until a pair of stubby fingers pinched his leg and he came down to earth to look into Jim Scroggie's grinning face.,As she spoke a gong sounded from beyond the closed door of a nearby class room; there was sound of movement and subdued voices, then the door swung grudgingly and a number of students of various ages with smudged hands and soiled aprons came straggling out into the dim corridor, laden with canvases and drawings to be stowed in the long line of lockers that stretched on either side of the hallway.,Yet so ardently onwards they press,.
