I dunno, Mr. Spencer; I jest cut the first ones come into my head.","From every blush that kindles in her cheeks,,“My stomach’s crying so I’ll have to eat one more sandwich, Bouncer. It’s a shame when Billy isn’t here. I’ll give you half, old dog.”，"What were the characters which could convince so shrewd and intelligent a man as Mr Lawrence that you were mad?" enquired Captain Acton, the habitual gravity of whose face was replaced by a constant expression of astonishment.，"But how do you know this?" asked Wilson in amazement.
