Side 231 - Lear. The little dogs and all, Tray, Blanch, and Sweet-heart, see, they bark at me.
Side 27 - ll not complain ; for I don't know what I should do without your letters. They are curing me. I have n't hurled anything at Watkins since last Sunday, partly because I have grown more amiable under your teaching, and partly because Watkins captured my ammunition one night, and carried it off to the library.

Side 54 - What can I say ? I am in sackcloth and ashes. I am a pariah, a dog of an outcast. I tried to make a little romance to interest you, something soothing and idyllic, and, by Jove ! I have done it only too well ! My father does n't know a word of this, so don't jar the old gentleman any more than you can help.
Side 66 - O'Rourke, for he addressed that gentleman as " a spalpeen," and told him to go home. " Divil an inch," replied the spalpeen ; but he got himself off the threshold, and resumed his position on the step. " It 's only Larry, mum," said the man, touching his forelock politely ; " as dacent a lad as iver lived, when he 's not in liquor ; an' I 've known him to be sober for days togither,
Side 41 - I notice that five days' silence on my part is sufficient to throw you into the depths of despondency. We returned only this morning from Appledore, that enchanted island — at four dollars per day. I find on my desk three letters from you! Evidently there is no lingering doubt in...
