What would anybody be to me in comparison with you, if I only had the chance?
I would kick them all to Jericho.

Can you see it in that way?
can you get hot every time you think of me ?" "Really," said Mary, looking very gently at him, because of his serious excitement, "you are very good, and very brave, and have done wonders for me; but why should I get hot ?" "No, I suppose it is not to be expected.

When I am in great peril I grow hot, and tingle, and am alive all over.

Men of a loftier courage grow cold; it depends upon the constitution; but I enjoy it more than they do, and I can see things ten times quicker.

Oh, how I wish I was Nelson! how he must enjoy himself!" "But if you have love of continual danger, and eagerness to be always at it," said Mary, with wide Yorkshire sense, much as she admired this heroic type, "the proper thing for you to do is to lead a single life.
You might be enjoying all the danger very much; but what would your wife at home be doing?
Only to knit, and sigh, and lie awake." Mary made a bad hit here.
