My, what a big fellow he is!

Are you certain he is dead?

Yes,

Are there any more of them?

It was a great happening, sir, said the butler.
gpt
I can't abide wild beasts, sir, not me!

You ought to have the skin of this tiger, said Jack to Mrs. Ford.

It would make a fine rug.

Yes, mamma, let us have the skin by all means, pleaded Laura.

I'll have to see the circus people about it, came from Mr. Ford.
