And my dear wife naturallyfinds it difficult to keep pace with such a weathercock.
I must say this though: I was moved this evening to aprofound admiration for him.
Then why, if youre so sure of it, feel hurt because they dont come? This is what happens whengentlemen get to interfering in things they dont understand.
But Lizzie here striking up a tune Mary knew, her thoughts came backwith a jerk. Enough to make poor old Paturn in is grave.
I do hope it will bring you every happiness.
So unlike Richard, whoseidea of a journey was to bury himself in a book from start to finish.
If we did that, there soon wouldnt beany more children left . But a man in Johns position has not the right to pick andchoose.
I must say this though: I was moved this evening to aprofound admiration for him. It was evidentshe had reckoned without her host!
The swiftness of the blow made one realise, anew,on the edge of what an abyss one walked. If only he would sometimes give his poor brains a rest. Perfunctorily Cuffy did what wasrequired of him, but his heart went on being a horse.
Its the things they DONT understand thatworries children.
No, too late now,for anything of that kind.
If we did that, there soon wouldnt beany more children left .
When they undertook anything of this kind,it usually went off well. The person who did not look near was Purdy; and this was an additionalsource of offence.
The next thing to provoke him was the arbitrary way in which shedisposed of his personal liberty. I say,DO you remember, Poll, how Purd used to ride down from Melbourne?
You know myaversion to that kind of thing. Indeed that was true; nor could Purdy be blamed, if he failed torecognise the obligation.
I shall go over and see John myself, thefirst thing in the morning. I said to himthe other day, I said: John, love!
