313 ページ - He never allowed himself a joke in his speeches, nor attempted even the smallest flourish of rhetoric. He was very careful in his language, labouring night and day to learn to express himself with accuracy, with no needless repetition of words, perspicuously with regard to the special object he might have in view.

312 ページ - Alice, you must tell me something about yourself, too ; won't you, dear ? " Then without waiting for an answer Lady Glencora went, leaving Alice in a maze of bewilderment. She could hardly believe that all she had heard, and all she had done, had happened . since she left Queen Anne Street that morning. CHAPTER' XXIV. THREE POLITICIANS. MR.
