But the wheel of fortune which has depressed me to the very bottom, has by another revolution, raised me. I must tell you that I am very heavily in debt. Even in this antiquated hole I owe an old scamp, named Greyquill, three hundred pounds, of which I have only had two hundred. I am in debt, some of them debts of honour, to several men, a few of whom I have spoken of in my time as brother-officers, and one of them quite recently threatened me with the law.

"Jest couldn't he? I'll take you down to the marsh some day an' show you how quick he kin kill a womper.","Oh, nuthin', only she happened to find a pipe in one of the pockets, that's all.",The litter was carried into the Admiral's cabin, and Lucy and the surgeon followed.,“Didn’t you get enough water in the Labyrinth?” laughed Jerry.,All the floors at Kingthorpe were as shining as a mirror. Mother said they were waxed. It was a good thing the floors at home were not waxed, for it would be an awful job to take care of them. When he and Asta played tag around the dining-room table for instance—my, oh my! but there would be a good many scratches on the floor! Queer, that rich people must have every thing so fine! For his part, he thought such elegance was only a bother.,He is perhaps disappointed in that every Irish cloak does not conceal a face beautiful as a houri's.
