"You ?" he said, disagreeably.
"Yes, me," replied the other.

"After all, what's looks?
Looks ain't everything." His friend looked bewildered, and then started furiously as the meaning of Mr.Russell's remark dawned upon him.

He began to feel like a miser beset by thieves.
"What age do you reckon you are, Bill ?" he inquired, after a long pause.
"I'm as old as I look," replied Mr.Russell, simply, "and I've got a young face.

I'd sooner it was anybody else than Selina; but, still, you can't 'ave everything.

If she don't take me sooner than young Joseph I shall be surprised." Mr.Vickers regarded him with undisguised astonishment.
"I might ha' married scores o' times if I'd liked," said Mr.Russell, with a satisfied air.
"Don't you go doing nothing silly," said Mr.Vickers, uneasily.
