I mean to live on half my income, and settle the other half on you.

I shall act on the clause in the entail, and sell all the timber on the estate, except about the home park and my best covers.

It will take me some years to do this; I must not glut the market, and spoil your profits; but every year I'll have a fall, till I have denuded Mr.Bassett's inheritance, as he calls it, and swelled your banker's account to a Plum.

Bella, I have had a shake.

Even now that I am better such a pain goes through my head, like a bullet crushing through it, whenever I get excited.
