252 ページ - Not in the least; I beg you won't mention it. No trouble in the world I assure you. Acres. You are very kind. What it is to have a friend! You couldn't be my second — could you, Jack?
291 ページ - Sir Lucius, I perceive there must be some mistake here. With regard to the affront which you affirm I have given you, I can only say that it could not have been intentional. And as you must be convinced that I should not fear to support a real injury, you shall now see that I am not ashamed to atone for an inadvertency.
216 ページ - Sir, I wont hear a word, not a word ! not, one word ! so give me your promise by a nod, and I'll tell you what, Jack — I mean, you dog — if you don't, by Capt.
