Hitherto I have had no means of introducing her.

If it is not too much to ask, Mr.
Cotter, I should be extremely glad and obliged if Mrs.Cotter would call on them and give them an introduction into society.

The lady with my father's ward is the widow of a captain in the Indian Army, and is in all ways a very charming person, and has been at the head of my father's establishment for the last twelve years." "With the greatest pleasure in the world, Mr.Thorndyke.I am only sorry that it is so slight a thing that you ask of me.

I have thought it but right to tell my wife what has passed, and I had difficulty in persuading her not to come with me this evening to also express her gratitude to you.

She will be pleased indeed to call upon your friends at once, and I am sure she will do so tomorrow.
