"I may be savage, penniless, without family,—but I bought my own trousseau.

I had some money of my own,—very little, I allow, but enough to furnish me with wedding garments."

He is blind to the depression that marks Mona and Geoffrey for its own, and quite outdoes himself in geniality and all-round amiability.,The man started. "No," he answered, "I don't own it exactly, but I hope to soon. It is part of the Scroggie property. I am negotiating now with Scroggie's heir for it. It is useless, of course, but I desire to own it for reasons known only to myself.",“Pull in to shore, Bob,” he said quickly. “We’d better take a look at what’s coming before we tackle it.”,"Well," said Mr Eagle, "I'm for leaving these 'ere coils on the pin until the time comes for chucking the fakes down and lettin' go, by which I mean I'm for waitin' until the Capt'n calls the 'ands aft and reads to 'em the sealed orders he told me about.
