"You would always be to me the best and truest woman alive. But—but I shouldn't have liked it."，“Just out on a little jaunt. Where did you come from?”，Instinct warns her of treachery; common sense belies the warning. To which shall she give ear?，“Yes. Isn’t it interesting, Aunt Grenertsen? Isn’t it a beauty?”"So pleased to see you, Mr. Alymer. Dr. Etwald, I am charmed. It is a delightful day, is it not? Reminds one of Barbadoes."

“No; well,” came the answer.,"Not you," says Paul, quickly. "What is it to you? It will not take a penny out of your pocket. Your husband," with an evil sneer, "has his income secured. I am not making you wretched.","You mean your horse, Jim," corrected Billy.,At last he passed the sluice gates which marked the center of the dam. A few rods further on he knew he must climb up and look over.,Billy bent and patted an imaginary something on the ground. "Good ol' Ringdo," he said. "Nice ol' Ringdo." That was the last straw.

Both my boys are dead, one by the hand of the other, and that other by his own hand. It is you and your daughter and Dido who have brought about these things. Go to Barbadoes, Mrs. Dallas, by all means. You and yours have done quite sufficient mischief in England.","Oh, what a day is this!" cries she, with quivering lips.
