30 페이지 - Yet, George, if we open the campaign too fiercely at first, we may want ammunition before it is over. I think to reserve the embroidery to secure a retreat. HARD. Your talking of a retreat, Mr. Marlow, puts me in mind of the Duke of Marlborough, when we went to besiege Denain.
59 페이지 - ... them to the house as an inn, ha! ha! I don't wonder at his impudence. Maid. But what is more, madam, the young gentleman as you passed by in your present dress, asked me if you were the barmaid?
