I hope it'll all turn out well and we can go on pleasantly and peaceably for the rest of the term. I hate rows and suspicions.

I'm going to take my grip from your throat, Jacobs, and leave you to the dogs and the children.Meanwhile, Blue Beard, with a large cutlass in his hand, called out with all his might to his wife, "Come down quickly, or I shall come up there."
