Woodville, you and I are new friends--and I pray God, Valeria, it may turn out that you have chosen well.
Law and the Lady by Collins, Wilkie View in context
But if you think I am going to let the Union Jack go down and down eternally, like the bottomless well, down into the blackness of the bottomless pit, down in defeat and derision, amid the jeers of the very Jews who have sucked us dry--no I won't, and that's flat; not if the Chancellor were blackmailed by twenty millionaires with their gutter rags, not if the Prime Minister married twenty Yankee Jewesses, not if Woodville and Carstairs had shares in twenty swindling mines.
The Man Who Knew Too Much by Chesterton, Gilbert K. View in context
