She was one of the light-haired, blue-eyed sort, with an innocent look and a snaky waist--not at all to be depended on, as I have found them.
I hear I am not expected to give an account of the disagreement between the two gentlemen, of which this lady was the cause.

I am to state what I did in Maplesworth, and what I saw afterward in Herne Wood.

Poor as I am, I would give a five-pound note to anybody who could do it for me.
Unfortunately, I must do it for myself.
On the 10th of July, in the evening, my master went, for the second time that day, to Mr.Varleigh's lodgings.
I am certain of the date, because it was the day of publication of the town newspaper, and there was a law report in it which set everybody talking.

There had been a duel with pistols, a day or two before, between a resident in the town and a visitor, caused by some dispute about horses.

Nothing very serious came of the meeting.
