Did you hear about the man who was half Portagee and half Italian? He made himself an offer he couldn't understand.

He also told me that he could see, on the cornea of my right eye, two keratic precipitates.

A great bargain also had been the excellent Axminster carpet which covered the floor; as, again, the arm-chair in which Bunting now sat forward, staring into the dull, small fire.

It's usually only men who are described as ‘clubbable’, and before I knew what that actually meant I agreed with it.
