I expect her in every minute." "Miss Alice!" says Sam, astonished.

"Is she come home ?" "Came home last week, sir.

Will you walk in and sit down ?" Sam got his coat out of his valise, and went in.

He wished that he had put on his plain blue necktie instead of the blue one with white spots.
He would have liked to have worn his new yellow riding-trousers, instead of breeches and boots.

He hoped his hair was in order, and tried to arrange his handsome brown curls without a glass, but, in the end, concluded that things could not be mended now, so he looked round the room.
What a charming room it was! A couple of good pictures, and several fine prints on the walls.
