We had one very good looking man on board ship, and he was the dullest man to talk to on board.

No, Doctor, I won't have any names mentioned, but I am right, am I not ?" "He was a dull specimen, certainly," the Doctor said, "but I think you are a little too sweeping." "I don't mean all good looking men, of course, but men who what I call go in for being good looking.

I don't know whether you know what I mean.
What are you smiling at, Mr.Wilson ?" "I was thinking of two or three men I know to whom your description applies, Miss Hannay; but I must be going--they are just going to start the next race, and mine is the one after, so I must go and get ready.
You wish me success, don't you ?" "I wish you all the success you deserve.

I can't say more than that, can I ?" "I am afraid that is saying very little," he laughed.

"I don't expect to win, but I do hope I shall beat Richards, because he is so cock sure he will beat me." This wish was not gratified.
