Oh, all right, all right. Stanhope's a fine youngster, but poor, poor."，"It is a good thing to be in earnest over every matter, however trivial.

It chanced to be that upon which the barbaric weapons before alluded to were arranged, and conspicuous among them glittered the golden handle of the devil-stick.
