He answered,, '' that it was the Blue Postesses, where the midshipmen leave their chestesses, call for tea and toastesses, and sometimes forget to pay for their breakfastesses."

" And, Mr. Chucks, recollect this afternoon that you bleed all the buoys.
Strana 4 - The sense of death is most in apprehension ; And the poor beetle that we tread upon, In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great As when a giant dies.
Strana 324 - War congratulated the country on the fact that " the country north of the Ohio, east of the Mississippi, including the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and the Territory of Michigan as far as the Fox and Wisconsin rivers," has been practically " cleared of the embarrassments of Indian relations,'' as there are not more than five thousand Indians, all told, left in this whole region.
Strana 47 - I presume, is a reefer, and they an't got much to larn, 'cause why, they pipeclays their weekly accounts, and walks up and down with their hands in their pockets.
